Transcribed Image Text:### Writing an Equation for a Transformed Logarithm
**Problem Statement:**
Write an equation for the transformed logarithm shown below that passes through the points \((0,0)\) and \((2,-3)\).
**Graph Description:**
The graph is a plot on a coordinate grid. The x-axis ranges from -5 to 5, and the y-axis ranges from -5 to 5. The graph features a blue curve representing a logarithmic function, which passes through the origin \((0,0)\) and the point \((2,-3)\).
- The curve starts at the point \((0,0)\) and descends towards the point \((2,-3)\), showing a transformed logarithmic behavior.
- The red dashed line at \(x = -1\) likely indicates a vertical asymptote, typical of logarithmic functions, if shifted.
**Interactive Component:**
There is an input box labeled \(f(x) =\) where users are prompted to "Enter an algebraic expression."
### Additional Notes:
- Ensure the entered equation reflects the transformations (translations and/or dilations) that align the curve with the given points.
- The equation should be in logarithmic form, likely involving parameters that cause the curve to pass through the specified points.
- Viewers can get assistance via a linked video resource.
**Common Transformations for Logarithms:**
- Horizontal shifts: \(f(x) = \log_b(x - h)\)
- Vertical shifts: \(f(x) = \log_b(x) + k\)
- Vertical stretching/compression: \(f(x) = a \cdot \log_b(x)\)
Based on the passage through \((0,0)\) and \((2,-3)\), determine the specific transformations applied.
