The answer is:  "1" .
________________________________
Explanation:
________________________
To start, we find this coordinates of this "point that splits the segment in half", known as the "half-point"; or, even more formally, known as the "midpoint",  using the following "midpoint formula"; in which "M" refers to the "midpoint":
____________________________________
Given two coordinates (points) on a (straight line segment): 
______________________________
(x₁, y₁) ; AND:  (x₂ ,y₂ ) ;  

The midpoint , "M":
___________________________________
M = (x₁ + x₂) / 2  , (y₁ + y₂) / 2  ;
____________________________________

in which:   " (x₁ + x₂) / 2 " ; refers to the "x-coordinate" of the midpoint;
 
AND:        "(y₁ + y ₂) / 2 " ; refers to the "y-coordinate" of the midpoint;
_______________________________________________________
       If given two particular points, use can use point to start with, as long os the second one is used for the next one:
___________________________________________________
So, given:  Point A:  (4,3) ;  4 = x₁ ; 3 = y₁ ;
                  Pont B:  (-2,6)   -2 = x₂ ; 6 = y₂ ;
___________________________________________________
 The midpoint , "M":
___________________________________
M = (x₁ + x₂) / 2  , (y₁ + y₂) / 2 = ?  Substitute the values:
_______________________________________________
M = [4 +(-2)] / 2 , (3 + 6) / 2 ;
  
→    [(4 <span>− 2) / 2 ] , [(3+6) / 2 ] ;

</span>→ (2/2), (9/2) ; 

→ (1, 4.5)
__________________________________
The midpoint is: (1, 4.5).  This very question asks to find the "x-value" of the midpoint, which is "1" .  (Since:  x =1, y = 4.5).   
________________________________________
So, the answer is: "1" .

When we think of volcanoes, eruptions, lava, and smoke-filled air come to mind—all occurring on land. Most people are surprised
Oxana [17]

Answer:

<u>To bring awareness about the underwater volcanoes</u>.

Explanation:

  • The eruption of the volcanoes, and the occurrence of the earthquakes on the planet and the spilling of the lavas, and the smoke-filled air hat comes to from the vent of the large craters.
  • <u>As most people think that the volcanoes are present on the land areas only does not mean that they are confined to the above surface of earth they are also characterized by the deep hydrothermal vent and the  most pope thus are surprised to know about them as they don't know that they are the primary place for the origin of the first life forms n the earth in the single-celled bacteria. </u>
  • They generally spill out the lavas and the magmas and this is called sth submarine volcanoes and ends to occur along the mid-ocean ridges. And are known to give out an estimated 75% of the volume of the lavas on earth.
  • T<u>hey are also known as the seamounts that are created from the extinct volcanoes that occur in 1000 to 4000 meters depth of the seafloor.</u>
