Answer:


xlog 5 = logq - log y\\

Explanation:

Given the equation
y = (q)/(5^(x) ), to convert to linear form, the following steps must be followed;


5^(x) = (q)/(y)\\ y5^(x) = q\\taking\ the\ log\ of\ both\ sides\\log(y5^(x)) = log q\\logy + log 5^(x) = log q\\log y + xlog5 = log q\\xlog 5 = logq - log y\\

The final expression is a linear form of the expression
