How do I make this expression in one line ?
$ (\forall (a ; b ) \in \mathbb{R}^{2})
(\forall (x ; y) \in \mathbb{R}^{2})
;
(a ; b )\star(x ; y) = \left(\dfrac{ax + by}{2};\dfrac{ay + bx}{2}\right)
$

There seems to be no problem displaying the formula on a single line when using the article
document class, Computer Modern text and math fonts, and a 12pt
basic font size.
The vertical lines at the edges of the screenshot are drawn because the showframe
package is loaded.
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{showframe} % display framelines around text block
\begin{document}
\[
(\forall (a ; b ) \in \mathbb{R}^{2})
(\forall (x ; y ) \in \mathbb{R}^{2});
(a ; b )\star(x ; y) =
\biggl(\frac{ax + by}{2};\frac{ay + bx}{2}\biggr)
\]
\end{document}
\[
not inline$
and such a display is always one line
