If the points (2,5),(4,6) and (a,a) are collinear, then the value of a is equal to

Consider the given points.
(2,5),(4,6) and (a,a)
Since, these points are collinear means that the area of triangle must me zero.
So,
21∣x1(y2−y3)+x2(y3−y1)+x3(y1−y2)∣=0
where (x1,y1),(x2,y2),(x3,y3) are the points
Therefore,
2(6−a)+4(a−5)+a(5−6)=0
12−2a+4a−20+5a−6a=0
a−8=0
a=8
