The distance between two points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) in a plane is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem.

Distance formula (2D):

d= (x2−x1)2 + (y2−y1)2

Coordinates may be any real numbers, including negative values. If both points coincide, the distance is zero. Used in geometry, physics, programming, and GIS to calculate the straight-line distance between two objects.
