The image shows a direction field and asks to match it with the correct system of differential equations. Let's analyze the given options and the direction field to find the correct system.

Analysis of the Direction Field:

• The arrows seem to indicate a stable behavior near $(x, 0)$ (where $y = 0$) and shrink towards the origin as $y \to 0$.
• There appears to be a horizontal and vertical symmetry in the vector field, especially along the $x$-axis and $y$-axis.
• The vectors point inward as $x$ and $y$ increase or decrease, suggesting a stable equilibrium at the origin.

Matching with Differential Equations:

We will now compare this behavior to the systems of equations listed below:

1. $\frac{dx}{dt} = x - 2$ and $\frac{dy}{dt} = -2y$:

   • For $x = 2$, $\frac{dx}{dt} = 0$, and for $y = 0$, $\frac{dy}{dt} = 0$.
   • This implies stability in the $y$-direction (since $y = 0$ is a stable line) but suggests instability in the $x$-direction. This doesn't seem to match the field, which shows inward movement.

2. $\frac{dx}{dt} = x + 2$ and $\frac{dy}{dt} = 2y$:

   • Both $x$ and $y$ will grow, which suggests an unstable equilibrium (opposite direction of inward flow). This does not match the field.

3. None of these:

   • We'll revisit this option after checking all the systems.

4. $\frac{dx}{dt} = x - 2$ and $\frac{dy}{dt} = 2y$:

   • This describes an unstable $y$-direction and might match some behavior, but it's not consistent with the inward flow.

5. $\frac{dx}{dt} = x + 2$ and $\frac{dy}{dt} = -2y$:

   • This suggests inward motion in the $y$-direction and outward motion in the $x$-direction, which somewhat matches the pattern but isn't entirely correct.

Given the direction field's characteristics, none of the provided systems accurately capture the inward behavior on both axes. Thus, the correct answer is likely:

None of these.

Let me know if you need further details, or have any additional questions! Here are some related topics to explore:

1. How are direction fields used to visualize differential equations?
2. What is the role of equilibrium points in analyzing systems of equations?
3. How can we numerically solve systems of first-order differential equations?
4. What methods can we use to linearize non-linear systems of differential equations?
5. How do real-world systems relate to such mathematical models?

Tip: To understand direction fields better, try plotting them for simple systems of equations and observe how the arrows reflect stability or instability at critical points.
