Finding Midpoints with the Midpoint Formula

This video tutorial explains how to find the midpoint between two points. It covers the formula for calculating the midpoint by averaging the x and y coordinates separately. The tutorial includes examples with both positive and negative coordinates, as well as examples involving fractions. Viewers are encouraged to practice with provided problems to reinforce their understanding.
