Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point. y = x + 8; (2, 16)
a. y = x + 14
b. y = x – 6
c. y = x + 6
d. y = x

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:
