Interception at $x-$axis is $\ln \  x=0.1$ and slope $=-0.02$

Equation fo straight line is given by,

$y=mx+C$

According to the question,

$y=m(\ln \ x)+C$ where $m=-0.02$

$y=-0.02(\ln \ x)+C\quad \rightarrow(1)$

Abscissa is known as intercept in $x-$axis i.e. for $y=0,\ln \ x =0.1$

From equation $(1),$

$0=-0.02\times 0.1+C$

$C=0.002\quad \rightarrow(2)$

From equations $(1)$ and $(2),$

$y=-0.02(\ln \ x)+0.002$

At $x=5,$

$y=-0.02(\ln \ 5)+0.002$

$y=-0.030$

So, the correct answer is $(A).$

The equation of straight line with slope and the coordinates (x,y) is Y=mX+C  where “C” is constant. Since the graph is plotted in Y against Ln x   so the above equation modifies as Y=m LnX + C. All points are given and we can find the constant “C’. Hence option A is correct.
