The easiest way to do this is to realize this is a <em>weighted average</em> of the two points.  (A weighted average is a linear combination where the coefficients add to one.)


(x,y) = (1-t)C + tD


where t is a real parameter. When t=0 we're at point C, when t=1 we're at point D. We're interested in t=1/4,


(x,y)= (3/4) C + (1/4) D


We're only asked for the x coordinate:


x = (3/4) (1) + (1/4) (-4) = 3/4 - 1 = - 1/4


Answer: \quad - \dfrac 1 4
