The correct answer is: 2 - 2



Let x1, y1, x2, y2 and x3, y3 be the vertices of a triangle,

So,
x1+x2=0, x2+x3=2, x3+x1=2 [mid point formula x1+x22 ]

Similarly,

y1+y2=2, y2+y3=2, y3+y1=0

So, the vertices are 0,0, 0,2, 2,0.

We know that x-coordinate of incentre x¯=ax1+bx2+cx3a+b+c   

a=2,b=2,c=22,x1=0,x2=2,x3=0

  x¯=0+4+02+2+22

 x¯=2-2
