Practical Example:

GPS Navigation: If you're at position (3, 4) and need to reach (7, 10):

  • Distance = 7.21 units (could be miles or kilometers)
  • Midpoint (5, 7) = halfway point for a rest stop
  • Slope = 1.5 = for every 1 unit east, you travel 1.5 units north

Try these coordinates above to see the calculations!

How to Use This Tool

This tool computes the distance, midpoint, and slope between two points.

  1. Enter the X and Y values for the first point.
  2. Enter the X and Y values for the second point.
  3. Click the Calculate button.
  4. See the results displayed below.

Input Fields Explained

You will see separate fields for each coordinate.

For the first point, enter X₁ and Y₁ values. For the second point, enter X₂ and Y₂ values.

Use numbers like 3 or 7 to indicate positions on a grid.

Understanding the Output

The tool shows three results.

The distance tells you how far apart the two points are.

The midpoint gives you the center between the points.

The slope shows how steep the line is.

Limitations and Special Notes

All coordinate fields must have a number.

If a field is left blank, a message will prompt you to enter valid numbers.

If the line is vertical, the slope will be marked as undefined.

Practical Example

Try using these numbers:

This will show you the distance in units. The midpoint and slope will adjust accordingly.

Common Use Cases

You can use this tool for math assignments. It is also useful in engineering and mapping tasks.

It helps when you need quick calculations without drawing a graph.
