X = log (base b) y
The base of the log becomes the base of the exponent.
The x and y switch.
b^x = y
because the symbol is a less than sign < the blue area needs to be below the red line and does not include the solution to Y ( if it included Y it would be a ≤ symbol.
When the solution isn't included, it is a dashed line.
so the answer would be D
