    e  Good X and good Y are substitute goods, and the cross-price elasticity is −2

    If the price of butter goes up and people buy more margarine you have substitutes.

    Only  cross-price elasticity uses data from 2 products.  Income elasticity needs data on change of income.

    Substitute, the cross price elasticity is +2. I‘m so sure, but I don‘t know anything about the income elasticity.
