Define a radioactive sample produced a straight line plot

Reference no: EM13703594

Problem- A graph of natural log of counts per minute vs elapsed time (in minutes) for a radioactive sample produced a straight line plot with a slope of -0.301 min^-1. What is the half-life of this sample?

Anyone can tell me how to solve it step by step so that I will be able to understand what is going on?
