The coordintes of the given sement are,

(2, 4) and ( 2, -7).

The midpoint is halfway between the two end points:

Its x value is halfway between the two x values

Its y value is halfway between the two y values

The cooridnate of the midpoint can be calculated as,


x=(x1+x2)/(2),\text{ y =}(y1+y2)/(2)

Therefore we have,


\begin{gathered} x=(2+2)/(2)=(4)/(2)=2 \\ y=(4-7)/(2)=-(3)/(2) \end{gathered}

Thus, the correct option is D.
