Our accurate distance between two points calculator will find distance between two points on a 2D coordinate plane.

## What Is the Distance Between Two Points?

A particular line on a cartesian coordinate plane that allows two points to connect with each other is called distance among 2 points.

There is another distance formula calculator that will let you find distance even among 3 points.

### How To Find Distance Between Two Points On a Graph?

Let us suppose we have the following two points:

$$\left(2, 8\right)$$

$$\left(4, 9\right)$$

Now finding distance between two points:

$$d = \sqrt {\left(x_{2} – x_{1}\right)^{2} + \left(y_{2} – y_{1}\right)^{2}}$$

$$d = \sqrt {\left(4 – 2\right)^{2} + \left(9 – 8\right)^{2}}$$

$$d = \sqrt {\left(2\right)^{2} + \left(1\right)^{2}}$$

$$d = \sqrt {4 + 1}$$

$$d = \sqrt {5}$$

$$d = 2.236$$
