The x value is 1/2, or 0.5
Just use the midpoint formula
(x2+x1)/2 , (y2+y1)/2
to find the midpoint. The x value would be (x2+x1)/2, so plug in the numbers.
(-2+3)/2 = 1/2

Answer:
[tex]\text{The x value for the point that splits segment CD in half is }\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given two points C(-2,4) and D(3, 7)
we have to find the value of x-coordinate for the point that splits segment CD in half.
By mid-point formula,
The coordinate of mid-point of line segment joining the points (a,b) and (c,d) are [tex](\frac{a+c}{2}, \frac{b+d}{2})[/tex]
Coordinates of mid-point joining the points C(-2,4) and D(3, 7)
[tex](\frac{-2+3}{2},\frac{4+7}{2})[/tex]
[tex](\frac{1}{2},\frac{11}{2})[/tex]
[tex]\text{The x value for the point that splits segment CD in half is }\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
