To generalize a method to find additional points by given information.

Answer to Problem 57HP
Generalized method to get the points on the line shall be
Where x and y are the points on the line.
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
line contains the points X(3, -1) and Y(-1, 7)
Here first we shall calculate the slope of the line.
Slope of the line is given by,
Now we put the values of the given points we get,
Hence the slope is -2.
Now we know that the line will move 2 points down and 1 unit to the right from any point on the line.
Generalized method to get the points on the line shall be
Where x and y are the points on the line.
Hence the points on the line shall be ((3+1), (-1-2)) = (4, -3)
Similarly after this ((4+1), (-3-2)) = (5, -5)
And this goes on.
