Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint, add the x values and y values respectively. Then divide the results by 2. So, the midpoint of CD will be (0.5,5.5). The x value is 0.5.

Hey there! :)

Answer:

0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the midpoint formula to solve for the coordinates:

midpoint = [tex]({\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} },{\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2} } )[/tex]

Plug in the points for C and D:

[tex]({\frac{-2+3}{2} },{\frac{4+7}{2} } )[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]({\frac{1}{2} },{\frac{11}{2} } )[/tex] These are the coordinates for the midpoint.

The x-value of the coordinate is 1/2, or 0.5.
