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.

What is the significance of labeling points as x1, y1, x2, and y2 when using the midpoint formula?

In the context of the distance formula, explain what the square root sign represents.

What happens to negative values when calculating distances using the distance formula?

How can you find the coordinates of an endpoint if you know the midpoint and one endpoint?
