Distance & Midpoint

Enter two points to compute the straight-line distance between them with the distance formula d = √(Δx² + Δy²), and the midpoint as the average of the coordinates. Both results are shown with intermediate steps.

Frequently asked questions

What is the distance formula?

It comes from the Pythagorean theorem: d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²).

How is the midpoint found?

The midpoint is the average of the two points: ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2).

Can I use negative coordinates?

Yes. Any real coordinates, positive or negative, are accepted.
