The Two Coordinates of the Midpoint Segment: The Midpoint Rule

This video tutorial explains how to find the midpoint of a line segment. It begins with an introduction to the concept and provides examples of calculating midpoints for lines parallel to the X and Y axes. The video then derives the general formula for finding the midpoint of any line segment. Finally, it concludes with a challenge question to apply the learned concepts.

How do you calculate the X coordinate of the midpoint between two points A and B?

If point A is at (2, 4) and point B is at (6, 4), what are the coordinates of the midpoint?

Explain how to find the midpoint of a vertical line segment.

What is the formula for finding the Y coordinate of the midpoint between two points?

What would be the coordinates of the midpoint if point A is at (1, 2) and point B is at (5, 6)?
