Final answer:

The expression contains typographical errors but interpreting them correctly, the coefficients are -6, 5, and 4. These are the numerical factors multiplying the variables x and y in the expression. The term '9' is a constant and not a coefficient.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires us to identify the coefficients of the terms in the algebraic expression бх +5 y + 4х + 9. The term coefficient generally refers to the numerical factor of a term that contains a variable. In this expression, we ignore the constants (numbers without variables) and focus on the factors that multiply the variables.

First, we have the term бх, which seems to have a typographical error. Assuming that it should be -6x, the coefficient is -6. Next, for the term 5y, the coefficient is 5. For the term , which again seems to have a typo and should possibly be 4x, the coefficient is 4. The final term is 9, and since it does not have a variable, it is not considered in identifying the coefficients.

Therefore, the correct answer is choice B, which lists the coefficients as 5, 4, and -6.
