To find MP, we need to first set MP equal to OP since they intersect at point P.

So, 2x - 1 = 3x - 4

Solving for x:

2x - 1 = 3x - 4
2x - 3x = -4 + 1
-x = -3
x = 3

Now that we know x = 3, we can substitute it back into MP to find its value:

MP = 2x - 1
MP = 2(3) - 1
MP = 6 - 1
MP = 5

Therefore, MP is 5.
