Hi, Im trying to make an object move at a angle, particularly like this. Assume that you only know its x and y coords, how would you make it arc?

You don't. If all you know is its coordinates, there's not enough information to make it follow a circular arc. You need some other information like a point that it's orbiting, or a velocity and acceleration vector.
Ok assume you know the x and y of the start and stop position, and it moves at say 20.0units*time. What would the formula be?

Google "Spline"
Knowing the start, stop and velocity still isn't enough information since it doesn't tell you how curved the path should be.
