Solved by pluggable solver: Where is the centroid of that triangle?

The formula for the centroid any triangle located at (a,b) , (c,d) , (e,f) is to find the x and y coordinates.
x-coordinate of the centroid=%28a%2Bc%2Be%29%2F%283%29
y-coordinate of the centroid=%28b%2Bd%2Bf%29%2F%283%29
Thus, the x-coordinate is %28-6%2B-2%2B-10%29%2F%283%29=-6
The y-coordinate is %281%2B-7%2B%244%29%2F%283%29=-2
Therefore, the centroid is located at (-6,-2)
