Answer: Choice B

======================================================
Explanation:
The original equation is
with 8 as the base. That is also the base of the log when we get the final answer shown above. Logs are useful to isolate the exponent.
The general rule is that
is equivalent to the log form of
where b is the base of each.
Answer:
The coordinates of point D( 4,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>
Given points are E(10,4) and B(16,4)
'E' is the mid-point of segment BD
Let D(x₁, y₁) be a point
E = midpoint of segment BD

20 = x₁ + 16
20-16 = x₁
x₁ =4
<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>


4 + y₂ = 8
y₂ = 8-4 =4
The co-ordinates of point D( 4,4)
Point slope form: y-y1 = m(x-x1)
Find slope: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(1-5)/(9+3) = -4/12 = -1/3
Point slope equation: y+5 = -1/3(x+3)
Slope intercept: y = -1/3x - 1 + 5
Final slope int equation: y = -1/3x + 4
