The video tutorial reviews the distance formula and introduces the concept of the midpoint. It explains the difference between distance as a length and midpoint as a coordinate point. The midpoint formula is presented as the average of the x and y coordinates of two points. The tutorial provides a detailed example of applying the midpoint formula, emphasizing the importance of leaving results as fractions. The session concludes with a recap and reference to previous notes on absolute value.
