the correct answer is 15 .
i apparently had used the wrong method earlier
the correct method is :
find out the slope of A and (-2,p)
we can find the slope of AB = -2
and as point (-2,p) lies on it , it will have the same slope
slope = p +3 /-2-7
p+ 3 = 18
p = 15
to verify u can do the same thing with B
p - 9 / -2 -1 = -2
p-9 = 6
p = 15
sorry for the confusion earlier
