Description:
Returns the coordinates of the midpoint between two points on a line on the Cartesian coordinate system.

Return Values:
Returns a string

Example:

<CFSET x1=1>
  <CFSET y1=5>
  <CFSET x2=1>
  <CFSET y2=-5>
  <CFOUTPUT>
  Given:
  <UL>
  <LI>x1,y1 = (1,5)
  <LI>x2,y2 = (1,-5)
  </UL>
  The midpoint between (#x1#,#y1#) and (#x2#,#y2#) = (#CoMidpoint(x1,y1,x2,y2)#)
  </CFOUTPUT>
