We can rephrase the question, and say: Out of 7 points, how many ways can we choose 3? The key word here is "choose". This tells us to use the choose formula.
What you should do is solve for 7 choose 3.

Since this is a monic quadratic, we can use vieta's formula : https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Vieta%27s_Formulas.
So, we see that mn=n+m, and -m-n=m. Now, here is where is get's a bit tricky. When we add m to both sides of the second equation, we see that -n=2m. Divide by -1, we see that n=-2m.
Here is what I want you do to: plug -2m for n in the first equation, then solve for m.
Then, put that into n=-2m, and solve for n.
Good luck!
