Finding Midpoint & Distance in the Coordinate Plane - GEOMETRY 1.6

The video tutorial covers the basics of the coordinate plane, explaining the x and y axes. It introduces the midpoint formula, demonstrating how to find the midpoint of a line segment with examples. The distance formula is also explained, showing how to calculate the distance between two points. The Pythagorean theorem is introduced, focusing on right triangles and the hypotenuse. Finally, the video explains how to find a missing endpoint when given a midpoint and one endpoint.
