B) x ? 4, y < 6
C) x < 4, y ? 6
D) x ? 4, y ? 6

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The center of gravity is the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates. The average of the x-coordinates is (7+7+1+2+4)/5 = 4. The average of the y-coordinates is (3+7+10+6+5)/5 = 6. So the center of gravity is (4,6).
