New centroid is (103,2)

Explanation:

The centroid of the triangle with corners at (3,2), (3,1) and (4,3) is

(3+3+43,2+1+33) or (103,2)

When triangle is reflected across the x-axis, its centroid too is reflected across the x-axis

and as reflection of a point (x1,y1) in x-axis is (x1,y1),

New centroid is (103,2)
