Line spacing in TeX

Question

I am using \font\preloaded=cmr9 \magnification=1200 in a TeX document. How can I change the line spacing (from, say, 1 to 1.5) throughout the document?

@ChristianHupfer OP wrote »TEX« and http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/21275/vonbrand edited it to »TeX« and added highlighting. If somebody with a reputation of 1 ask a beginners question about line spacing, you have to consider that he is not aware of the difference between TeX and LaTeX. — Keks Dose, Dec 29 '15 at 19:04
@KeksDose: Actually the highlighting was done by me, but I missed to change TEX as well ;-) — , Dec 29 '15 at 19:17

You can modify \baselineskip as in LaTeX: here's a complete example.

\font\preloaded=cmr9 \magnification=1200
\baselineskip=1.5\baselineskip
