Line RS is ,

which contains all general points, (x,x+1).

Which points are on that line AND of the distance from R to S?
---Use of Distance Formula

, which may be a oversimplification;
Divide both sides by .

----Seems to be the value needed.

Corresponding value for y:
, just using the equation of line RS
