The midpoint rule

This video tutorial explains how to find the midpoint of a line segment. It begins with examples of line segments parallel to the x-axis and y-axis, demonstrating how to calculate midpoints in each case. The tutorial then derives a general formula for finding the midpoint of any line segment, using algebraic expressions. The video concludes with a challenge to apply the midpoint rule to divide an object into three equal parts.
