Answer:

$\boxed{x=3}$

Explanation:

Let's solve now

$\red{( - 3 \: \: \: \: \: \: 2)} = >\green{ (x1 \: \: \: \: \: y1) }\\ \red{( - 2 \: \: \: \: \: \: 5 ) }= >\green{ (x2 \: \: \: \: \: y2)}\\$

$\blue{slope = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2) } \\ = (2 - 5)/( - 3 - ( - 2)) \\ = ( - 3)/( - 3 + 2) \\ = ( - 3)/( - 1) \\ = 3$
