Answer:

The coordinates of the centroid is


(-(7)/(3),5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the centroid of a triangle is given as:


((x_1+x_2+x_3)/(3),(y_1+y_2+y_3)/(3))

Using the above formula, we have:


\begin{gathered} C=((1+(-2)+(-6))/(3),(5+7+3)/(3)) \\ \\ =(-(7)/(3),(15)/(3)) \\ \\ =(-(7)/(3),5) \end{gathered}
