Answer: 3

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The x coordinate of point C is x = 7

The x coordinate of point D is x = -1

Add up these x coordinates to get 7+(-1) = 6

Then cut that result in half: 6/2 = 3

The x coordinate of the midpoint is 3

The y coordinate of the midpoint is found in a similar fashion. You should find the midpoint is located at (3, -3.5) which is the same as saying (3, -7/2) since -7/2 = -3.5
