. What is the coefficient of the y-term in the expression 4x + 5xy + 2y?

Question

I just need some help with this question and getting the answer.

 

Answer 1

To coefficient is the number multiplying, or connected to, the specified term.

Which term has only the y-variable, and what number is next to it?

 

Just a heads up, make sure you pay attention to the sign, as well. not a big deal here, but there will assuredly be questions for you to answer that will have a negative/subtraction sign next to it in the future.
