The given coordinates are (4, -2), (-2,4) and (5,5).
Let us denote them as A(4, -2), B(-2,4) and C(5,5).
Then a = |BC| = 
(5+2)2 + (5-4)2 = (72+12) = 50 = 52
b = |CA| = (4-5)2 + (-2-5)2 = (72+12) = 50 = 52
c = |AB| = (-2-4)2 + (4+2)2 = (36 + 36) = 72 = 62
Coordinates of incentre of traingle ABC are
[(ax1 + bx2 + cx3) / (a+b+c) , (ay1 + by2 + cy3) / (a+b+c)]
i.e. [ {52 .4 + 52 . (-2) + 62 .5 }/ 162 , {52 . (-2) + 52 . 4 + 62 .5 }/ 162 ],
Hence, this gives ( 402/ 162 , 402/ 162)
Hence, the coordinates of the incentre are (5/2, 5/2).
