Solution
The given points are A(2,2) , B (-4,-4) and C (5,-8).
`Here , (x_1 = 2, y_1=2), (x_2=-4, y_2=-4) and (x_3=5 , y_3 =-8)`
Let G (x ,y) br the centroid of Δ ABC Then ,
`x= 1/3 (x_1+x_2+x_3)`
`=1/2(2-4+5)`
=1
`y=1/3(y_1+y_2+y_3)`
`=1/3 (2-4-8)`
`=(-10)/3`
Hence, the centroid of ΔABC is G `(1,(-10)/3).`

If the points P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y) are collinear, then find the relation between x and y.
Given points are P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y).
The given points are collinear, so the area of the triangle formed by them is `square`.
∴ `1/2 |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| = square`
`1/2 |1(square) + 0(square) + x(square)| = square`
`square + square + square` = 0
`square + square` = 0
`square = square`
Hence, the relation between x and y is `square`.
