How to use Distance Between Points

Enter the x and y coordinates of both points and the straight-line distance is calculated instantly with the formula and steps shown.

Frequently asked questions

What formula finds the distance between two points?

The distance formula d = √((x₂−x₁)² + (y₂−y₁)²), derived from the Pythagorean theorem.

Does it work with negative coordinates?

Yes — enter any real numbers, positive or negative, for both points and it computes the distance correctly.

Can I see the working?

Yes — the calculator shows the substituted values and each step of the calculation.
