Calculate the distance between two points, midpoint, slope, and horizontal or vertical change with this free distance calculator.
Distance formula:
d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)
Midpoint formula:
M = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)
Horizontal change:
Δx = x₂ − x₁
Vertical change:
Δy = y₂ − y₁
Distance is used in geometry, graphing, mapping, physics, engineering, and design to measure how far apart two points are.
It also helps with midpoint, slope, and coordinate-plane relationships.
Your result shows the straight-line distance between two points or from horizontal and vertical change. It also includes midpoint and slope information when point coordinates are used.
This makes it easier to understand both the size and direction of the change on the coordinate plane.
The distance formula is d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²).
The midpoint is the point exactly halfway between two coordinates.
It comes from the Pythagorean theorem, which relates the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle.
No. Distance measures length, so it is always zero or positive.
