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" .

What are two clusters that have the greatest impact on people and why ?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: Some geographic areas have obvious natural advantages that result in cluster formation. For example, proximity to a large port will attract exporting firms or areas rich in minerals will attract clusters of mining firms. In addition, there are three well-established reasons why firms choose locate in close proximity. The cost of transporting goods is reduced when firms are located close to their customers or suppliers. Input suppliers can exploit economies of scale in large clusters of downstream firms who, in turn, benefit from timely delivery and lower inventory costs.

Explanation: There are various types of clustering are that include:

^ Connectivity-based Clustering (Hierarchical clustering)

^ Centroids-based Clustering (Partitioning methods)

^ Distribution-based Clustering.

^ Density-based Clustering (Model-based methods)

^ Fuzzy Clustering.

^ Constraint-based (Supervised Clustering)

olasank [31]
A caldera is a large depression formed when a volcano erupts and collapses. During a volcanic eruption, magma present in the magma chamber underneath the volcano is expelled, often forcefully. When the magma chamber empties, the support that the magma had provided inside the chamber disappears.
