Graph the line with the equation y= 1/2x -1

Start at the y-intercept, (0,-1). Next, go up one and to the right 2, plot a point. Keep going up one and to the right 2 until you reach the end of the graph. Next, go back to your y-intercept. Go down one and to the left 2. Keep going down and to the left until you reach the end of the graph. Connect all points.

2^y = ln 5, or   y(ln 2) = ln 5.   solving for y,   y = (ln 5) / (ln 2).   y=5
