Distance and midpoint between two points

This online calculator find distance and midpoint between two points in cartesian coordinates.

This online calculator find distance and midpoint between two points in cartesian coordinates. The formulas are very simple: for two given points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ distance is the hypotenuse of right triangle, and it is calculated like this: $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ and middle point is the average of both coordinates $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$.

However, this calculator also displays the line on the graph (in blue), and shows graphical way to find a midpoint - you draw two half-circles from both ends with radius equals to distance between them, then draw line connecting circles intersections. That line intersects with the original line at the midpoint.
