How do I make something go directly to a specific point?

Lonk_from_PA

I'm trying to move something to a specific point and the position of the object will be different every time I want to move it. I tried to do something with the slope and vectors, but I couldn't figure it out. Something that doesn't deal with vectors would be extremely helpful.

This is probably the easiest way:

float tx=100, ty=100, px=100, py=100;

void setup() {
  size(400, 400);
}

void draw() {
  px = lerp(px, tx, .1);
  py = lerp(py, ty, .1);
  background(0);
  ellipse(px, py, 10, 10);
}

void mousePressed() {
  tx = mouseX;
  ty = mouseY;
}

Yeah, or replace .1 with a float var and increase by .1 till 1.0
