Interpolating on a line between to points
I have two points which represent the start and end points of a line. I need to interpolate a number of points on the line between the two points.

Point 1:
x = 455989.0
y = 8673453.4

Point 2:
x = 283957.6
y = 8691250.1

The two points I have are coordinates given in UTM format. x represents easting and y northing (which means they are given in meters).

I need 6916 points on the line between the start and end points (6918 points including the start and end points). The points should be equally spaced along the line. The result should be a file with 6918 rows with one number on each row, starting with point 1, continuing with the first interpolated point on the line, then the second etc, and ending with point 2.

It would be nice to have a general code which could also be used for other points for other lines with different number of interpolations.

Is there anyone who can help me with this problem?
