Help with AQA core 2 logs

So I have been doing a past paper for core 2 and have come upon a question which I don't understand, I've had a look at the mark scheme but it isn't helping much so I was hoping somebody could explain how to do the last two parts, as I'm ok on the first two its just the last two which are a problem.

The first parts of the questions help you.
The log has been taken from a product to a sum. Just work backwards and think f(ax)...

Given y=f(x) y = f(x) , a stretch parallel to y=0 y = 0 of scale factor 1a \displaystyle \frac {1} {a} is y=f(ax) y = f(ax)

Solve for x x and find corresponding y y . Then m=yy0xx0 \displaystyle m = \frac {y - y_0} {x - x_0}

Hope this helps. :smile:
