You can do it by specifying two other points to define a line which
includes the two given points.
e.g. (adjust t1, t2 to your taste; the values below extend the line
between p1 and p2 to either side by 10 times the distance between
p1 and p2):
p1=[x1;y1]; p2=[x2;y2];
t1=(-10); t2=(+10);
P1=p1 + t1*(p2-p1) ; P2=p2 + t2*(p2-p1);
Now draw a line from P1 to P2 (when t1=0 and t2=0 you get the original
points p1 and p2).
Hope this helps,
Ted.
