#(1,3)# is the circumcenter. The information is not sufficient to find centroid, which is the point of intersections of all medians.

Explanation:

As all perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect each other at circumcenter, let us find it.

Equations #y=-x+4# and #y=-3x+6# gives #x=1# and #y=3#

and as #(1,3)# satisfies #y=-1/2x+7/2#

#(1,3)# is the circumcenter.

graph{(y+x-4)(y+3x-6)(2y+x-7)=0 [-9.46, 10.54, -2.08, 7.92]}

The information is not sufficient to find centroid, which is the point of intersections of all medians.
