We are given the equations:

y = 5.05x

y = 0.55x

y = 5.5x

And the points (11, -2), (-20, -11), (2, 11)

It's required to match equations with their solutions.

The first point can be discarded because its input is positive and the output is negative. None of the equations has a negative coefficient, so it cannot be a solution of any of them.

Testing the point (-20, -11) in the three equations:

y = 5.05*(-20) = -101

y = 0.55*(-20) = -11

y = 5.5*(-20) = -110

This point corresponds to the second equation.

Testing the point (2, 11) on the remaining equiations:

y = 5.05*(2) = -11.1

y = 5.5*(2) = 11

This point corresponds to the last equation.
