logarithmic transformation from exponential to linear equation

How to convert this exponential equation to linear equation.



$Y =exp(17.9348)cdot x^{-2.705}$



what I did is:
$Y =log(17.9348)-2.705log(x).$



I am confused with this one:
$Y=17.9348-2.705log(x).$



Which one is correct transformation?



Thanks in advance!

          The answer is neither! You need to take the logarithm of both sides:
          begin{align*}
          y&=e^{17.9348},x^{-2.705} \
          ln(y)&=lnleft(e^{17.9348},x^{-2.705}right) \
          ln(y)&=lnleft(e^{17.9348}right)+lnleft(x^{-2.705}right) \
          ln(y)&=17.9348-2.705ln(x).
          end{align*}
