On a coordinate plane, a solid straight line has a negative slope and goes through (0, 1) and (1, 0). Everything to the left of the line is shaded. The solutions to the inequality y ≤ −x + 1 are shaded on the graph. Which point is a solution?

(2, 3)
(3, –2)
(2, 1)
(–1, 3)

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

answer: need a picture
