1. **Problem:** Find the point of intersection of the lines \(y = 2x + 1\) and \(y = -2x - 2\).
2. **Formula and rule:** At the point of intersection, the \(y\)-values of both lines are equal, so set the right sides equal:
$$2x + 1 = -2x - 2$$
3. **Solve for \(x\):**
$$2x + 1 = -2x - 2$$
Add \(2x\) to both sides:
$$2x + 2x + 1 = -2x + 2x - 2$$
$$4x + 1 = -2$$
Subtract 1 from both sides:
$$4x + \cancel{1} - 1 = -2 - 1$$
$$4x = -3$$
Divide both sides by 4:
$$\frac{\cancel{4}x}{\cancel{4}} = \frac{-3}{4}$$
$$x = -\frac{3}{4}$$
4. **Find \(y\) by substituting \(x = -\frac{3}{4}\) into one of the equations, say \(y = 2x + 1\):**
$$y = 2\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right) + 1 = -\frac{6}{4} + 1 = -\frac{3}{2} + 1 = -\frac{3}{2} + \frac{2}{2} = -\frac{1}{2}$$
5. **Conclusion:** The point of intersection is \(\left(-\frac{3}{4}, -\frac{1}{2}\right)\).
6. **Check options:** None of the given options (a. (0,1), b. (1,-2), c. (-1,-1), d. (-1,-2)) match the intersection point.
Therefore, the lines intersect at \(\left(-\frac{3}{4}, -\frac{1}{2}\right)\), which is not listed among the options.
