Vector math: moving to a point

Unity Engine
1

I am unsure of how I need to code this behavior. Conceptually its simple, but I don’t understand vector math well enough to see how to do it.

I just want my object to move to a specified point at a specified speed. It’s so simple I feel like I’m missing something obvious.
I’m applying this to a rigidbody2D. I have a vector2 for the position I need to move to, and a float for the speed I want it to move at. So I need to find an angle that would point from the object’s position to its destination, and I need to set a magnitude for that angle according to my object’s speed.

I feel like I’ve done this before, but I can’t recall when, so I don’t know where to find my own example code.
How do I perform this math?

I don’t think you need the angle to the destination, you need the direction to the destination. That direction is

(endPoint - startPoint).normalized

Then you just multiply that by your speed and that gives you the desired velocity.

You should learn vector math, it not hard and very useful in game development. Vectors

That does it! Thank you!
