Answer:

The midpoint of CD is
((2+a)/(2),\ (7+b)/(2)).

Explanation:

Consider a line CD.

The point C is (2, 7).

Assume that the point D is, (a, b).

The formula to compute the midpoint is:


(x,y)=((x_(1)+x_(2))/(2),\ (y_(1)+y_(2))/(2))

Compute the midpoint of CD as follows:


(x,y)=((x_(1)+x_(2))/(2),\ (y_(1)+y_(2))/(2))


=((2+a)/(2),\ (7+b)/(2))

Thus, the midpoint of CD is
((2+a)/(2),\ (7+b)/(2)).
