For the mid point

$\dpi{120} \fn_jvn \large x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}\: and\: y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$

$\dpi{120} \fn_jvn \large \dpi{120} \fn_jvn \large x=\frac{2+4}{2}\: and\: y=\frac{a+2}{2}$

$\dpi{120} \fn_jvn \large x=\frac{6}{2}\: and\: y=\frac{a+2}{2}$

$\dpi{120} \fn_jvn \large The \: coordinates \: are (3,\frac{a+2}{2})$

$\dpi{120} \fn_jvn \large \frac{a+2}{2}=3 \Rightarrow a+2=6\Rightarrow a=4$
