How do you convert a logarithmic scale to a linear scale?

To convert from logarithmic scale to linear scale, raise the base, value of 10, to the power of each x- and y- data point. The first ordered pair would be 10 raised to the first and second powers, producing values of 10 and 100, such that the ordered pair in linear scale is (10, 100).
