Explanation & Answer
The answer is option a
The easiest way to see this is to look at the point of intersection -which must lie on both of the lines/
Now (2, -2) means x = 2 and y = -2
Checking -0.5x -0.3 y = -0.5*(2) - 0.3 *(-2) = -1 + 0.6 = -0.4 as required
and 0.1 x - 0.2y = 0.1 *(2) -0.2 * (-2) = 0.2 + 0.4 = 0.6 as required
(The other two options don't work)
The long way is to write the equations in standard form and check the lines
Example 0.1x -0,2 y= 0.6
Multiply by 10
x -2y = 6 or y = 1/2x -3 which is one of the lines (slope 1/2 and intercept -3)
