New centroid is (133,53)

Explanation:

The centroid of the triangle with corners at (3,9), (6,5) and (4,9) is

(3+6+43,9+(5)+(9)3) or (133,53)

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 (133,53)
