$y = \log (x)$ , $(8, 0.903)$

Step 1

Insert the values of $x = 8$ and $y = 0.903$ into the equation to find if the ordered pair is a solution.

$0.903 = \log (8)$

Step 2

Since $0.903 \neq \log (8)$ , there are no solutions.

No solution

Step 3

Since the equation is not true when the values are used, the ordered pair is not a solution.

The ordered pair is not a solution to the equation.
