Using a set of points determine if the figure is a parallelogram using the midpoint formula

The video tutorial guides students through the process of determining whether a set of plotted points forms a parallelogram. It emphasizes the importance of plotting and labeling points accurately and discusses the properties of parallelograms, particularly focusing on the diagonals bisecting each other. The tutorial demonstrates the use of the midpoint formula to verify if the diagonals bisect each other, ultimately concluding that the given points do not form a parallelogram as their midpoints do not coincide.
