Question

find the x value for the point that splits segment CD in half if point C is located at (-2, 4) and point D is located at (3, 7)

Answer 1

So the midpoint would be found using the formula

\[\large \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}\]

So you take your 2 'x' coordinate points...(-2 and 3) add them, and then divide the answer by 2

\[\large \frac{-2 + 3}{2} = \frac{1}{2}\]

So 1/2 or .5 would be the 'x' value you are looking for
