Linear Law - Linearisation Using Logarithms

TGM Original Questions

The figure shows a straight line graph which is obtained by plotting \(\lg y\) against \(\lg \frac{1}{x}\).

  1. Find the value of \(\theta\).
  2. Express \(\lg y\) in terms of \(\lg \frac{1}{x}\).
  3. Hence, express \(y^4\) against \(\frac{1}{x}\).
