It means greater than. For example: Thomas baked 50 cupcakes in 1 hour and Ezra baked 25 cupcakes in 1 hour. How many more cupcakes did Thomas bake than Ezra. The answer would be 25 cupcakes. In this example you are subtracting but " more than" is greater than so I think it's subtracting.

What is an equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line whos equation is 2y+3x=1

____ [38]

$\text{First, simplify the equation into slope intercept form:}\\\\2y+3x=1\\\\2y=-3x+1\\\\\text{Divide by 2}\\\\y=-\frac{3}{2}x+1\\\\\text{Now, the perpendicular line is the opposite of the slope, and the opposite}\\\text{value}\\\\\text{Since our original equation is negative, the perpendicular lien will be positive}\\\\\text{And then you would just flip the fraction}\\\\\text{Your perpendicular line should be:}\\\\\boxed{y=\frac{2}{3}x+1}$

Answer:

D. The graph of function $g$ is the graph of function $f$ shifted 4 units to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

the function $g$ is composite function between $f$ and $x + 4$ , then you can re-write $g$ as:

$g(x) = 10^{x+4}$

The transformation happened in the input, then you have an horizontal shifted and how it's adding 4 units then you go "faster" and move to left the graph.

In the image you can see what's mean sum a constant in the $x$ of a function.
