Vector Equation of a Line Segment

In this video I go over the vector equation of a line segment instead of the entire line. I first start off with an example involving parametric equations and noting that setting the parameter t = 0 gets the first point on the line, while setting it to t = 1 gets the second point. From this fact, we can start off with our usual vector equation of a line and then describe it using our desired starting and ending vector, which point to the 2 positions of a line we want. Then we can just impose the interval of the parameter t to be from 0 to 1 to get our desired line segment!
