Question

Identify the coefficients in the expression below.

–6x + 5 y + 4x + 9

Answer 1

-6, 5, 4 are all coefficients


Coefficients are the numbers that go before a variable and describe how much of the variable is present.


The 9 isn’t a coefficient, as it doesn’t go with a variable. The 9 is a constant term, and will not change based on the value of the variables.
