     x₁,   y₁                                             x₂,    y₂                                      x₃,   y₃

A(   x,   2   )                                     B(   -3,   -4   )                            C(   7,   -5   )

When the points are col-linear then the area of the triangle becomes 0.

Area of a Δ= 1/2[  x₁(y₂₋y₃)  +  x₂(y₃-y₁)  +  x₃(y₁-y₂)  ]

               0=1/2[  x(-4-(-5))  +  -3(-5-2)  +  7(2-(-4))  ]

               0=[x+21+42]

               0=x+63

               x=-63
