How to Find the Midpoint

The video tutorial guides viewers through solving a standardized math test question by finding the midpoint of a segment. It begins with an introduction to the problem, explaining that point S is the midpoint of segment RT, with given coordinates for points R and T. The tutorial then explains the concept of a midpoint, which is the average of the x and y coordinates of the endpoints. The instructor demonstrates the calculation process, adding the coordinates and dividing by two to find the midpoint. The video concludes with the final calculation and the correct answer choice.
