Example 3 Linear Law - Owen and Ryan

yx^n = c
y = c / (x^n)
lg y = lg c - lg x^n
lg y = -n lg x + lg c
Y=mX + c
CONVERTING TO LINEAR LAW :
Y = mX + c where
Y = lg y
m = -n
X = lg x
C = lg c

AFTER DRAWING GRAPH where y-axis - lg y and x-axis - lg x :
Value of n : Gradient of graph * -1
Value of c : 10^ y-intercept
