This video tutorial covers the concepts of midpoint and distance in the coordinate plane. It explains how to find the midpoint on a number line and within a coordinate plane using averages. The distance formula is introduced, showing its basis in the Pythagorean theorem. The video includes three examples: finding a midpoint, solving for a missing endpoint, and calculating the distance between two points. These examples help reinforce the understanding of the formulas and their applications.

What are the two main topics discussed in this video?

• Volume and Surface Area

• Slope and Intercept

• Midpoint and Distance

• Area and Perimeter

What is the formula for the distance between two points?

• d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

• d = (x2 - x1) * (y2 - y1)

• d = (x2 - x1) + (y2 - y1)

• d = (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
