The question is too imprecise for a simple answer.
If you are given only the two points in Euclidean space you must measure the distance. If they are two points on a map, then the true (real-life) distance is the measured distance times the map's scale.
If the two points, A and B, are in n-dimensional coordinate space then the Euclidean distance is given by the n-dimensional Pythagoras' equation:
Dist(A, B) = sqrt[(Ax - Bx)^2 + (Ay - By)^2 + ... ] where Ax is the x coordinate of A, and so on.
But there are also other metrics possible. One such is the Manhattan distance (also called the taxicab distance). Based on Manhattan's rectangular grid of avenues and streets, the distance between two points is the difference in their avenue numbers added to the difference in their street numbers. This metric can easily be extended to 3 or more dimensions.

How to find a distance between a point and a y-axis?
The answer is the x coordinate of the point.
How do you find the distance between the origin of a cartesian coordinate system and a point?
To find the distance between the origin and the point (x,y) use Pythagoras on the right angled triangle which has the points (0, 0), (x, 0), (x, y) - the distance is the hypotenuse of the triangle and so has length: distance = √(x2 + y2) This can be extended to find the distance between any two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2): distance = √((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2) (for the original question (x1, y1) is the origin (0, 0) and the first formula results.)
How do you find the distance from a point to a line?
graph it
What formula would you use to find the distance from one point to another?
The Distance Formula! D = square root of (y2-y1) quantity squared + (x2-x1) quantity squared
How do you find acceleration falling object with only speed and distance?
a = (v2 - u2)/2s where a is the acceleration between the initial point in time and the final point in time, u is the initial velocity v is the final velocity s is the distance travelled
How can you calculate the average velocity of a bowling ball?
First, find an increment of distance. In between one place and another. Then, time how long it takes for the ball to get from point a to point b.Velocity= Distance divided by Time
How to find a distance between a point and a y-axis?
The answer is the x coordinate of the point.
Find the distance between the points 4 6 and 4 6?
Since they are the same point, the distance between them is 0.
How can you find the center between cities that you travel from?
There is a category on this website for "Halfway Points." You can also find the distance between two of your cities and divide it in two. The distance between Philadelphia and Chicago is 760 miles. The halfway point is 380 miles.
How do you find coordinates of a point given 1 point and midpoint?
since you know of one points and the halfway point between the other point. just multiply the halfway point by 2 and this is the total distance between the two points.
What is the distance between Detroit and Maryland?
The distance between the start point and the destination is 537 miles, and will take approximately 8 hours 56 minutes of driving time. where can i find nautical maps w/ distance on line
How do you find the distance between the origin of a cartesian coordinate system and a point?
To find the distance between the origin and the point (x,y) use Pythagoras on the right angled triangle which has the points (0, 0), (x, 0), (x, y) - the distance is the hypotenuse of the triangle and so has length: distance = √(x2 + y2) This can be extended to find the distance between any two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2): distance = √((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2) (for the original question (x1, y1) is the origin (0, 0) and the first formula results.)
How do you find the y intercept of a scatter plot?
Measure the distance between the point where the line intercepts the Y axis and the origin
How do you find the distance between 5 cities?
First, you have to specify what cities you want to find the distance between, and then you can find the distance between each one, and finally add all the distance together, to give you the total.
How do you find the distance from a point to a line?

The Distance Formula! D = square root of (y2-y1) quantity squared + (x2-x1) quantity squared
Can you use the distance formula to find the distance between two points on a map?
yes you can. It will represent longitude and latitude. Take the longitude and latitude from the first point and from the second one place the values in the formula you get the distance.
