Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $M(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$.

Step2: Identify coordinates

Here $x_1=3,y_1 = 5,x_2=7,y_2=2$.

Step3: Calculate x - coordinate of mid - point

$x=\frac{3 + 7}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5$.

Step4: Calculate y - coordinate of mid - point

$y=\frac{5+2}{2}=\frac{7}{2}=3.5$.

Answer:

$(5,3.5)$
