Find the values of the variables in each

Answer:
y = 7/3 and x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this figure is a parallelogram, the opposite sides of the parallelogram are congruent, therefore:
2y-9 = y-2 and 3x+1 = 5x-1
y and x can now be found algebraically:
2y-9 = y-2 3x+1 = 5x-1
3y-9 = -2 -2x+1 = -1
3y = 7 -2x = -2
y = 7/3 x = 1
So y is 7/3 and x is 1. When showing your work I would also mark the opposite sides of the parallelogram as congruent to one another (see image as reference).

For this case we have that by definition, the equation in the form of slope-intersection is given by:
Where
- m is the slope
- b is the cut point
Substituting the given point: and the cutoff point
we can find the slope,
We have:
Thus, the equation is given by:
