Answer: The required co-ordinates of the point are (0.5, 5.5).
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the co-ordinates of the point that splits CD in half if point C is located at (-2,4) and point D is located at (3,7).
The point that splits the line segment CD in half will be the mid-point of the segment CD.
We know that
the co-ordinates of the mid-point of a line segment with endpoints (a, b) and (c, d) are given by
[tex]\left(\dfrac{a+c}{2},\dfrac{b+d}{2}\right).[/tex]
Therefore, the co-ordinates of the given point that splits CD in half are given by
[tex]\left(\dfrac{-2+3}{2},\dfrac{4+7}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{11}{2}\right)=(0.5,5.5).[/tex]
Thus, the required co-ordinates of the point are(0.5, 5.5).
