Taking logs of both sides:

logv = logk + nlogr

To understand why the equation looks like this, use log laws and work backwards, i.e.:

logv = logk + logrn {Raise r to the power of n, as by log laws alogb <=> logba}

logv = log(krn) {By log laws, loga + logb = log(ab), so long the bases are the same)

Back to the original equation: notice how it's similar to the form y = mx + c. From here you can work out the constants :smile:
