Answer:

line equation is

y-2 = [(6-2)/(-5-1)] × (x-1)

=> y - 2 = (4/-6) × (x-1)

=> y-2 = -2/3 × (x-1)

=> 3y - 6 = -2x + 2

=> 3y + 2x - 8 = 0

since (1,2),(-5, 6) and (p,- 2) are collinear, (p,-2) isa point on above line equation

=> x = p, y = -2

=> 3(-2) + 2(p) - 8 = 0

=> -3 + p - 4 = 0

=> p = 7
