Question

What is the coefficient of y in the expression 1.4 + 7y? a. 1 b. 4 c. 7 d. 11

Answer 1

To find the coefficient of y, remember that a coefficient is the number in front of a variable. So, to find our coefficient, we need to look at the number in front of the variable, y.

The given expression is 1.4 + 7y. In front of y, we see the number 7. We conclude that 7 is the coefficient of y.

Now let's look for the option that matches our answer.

a. 1

b. 4

⇒ c. 7

d. 11

Answer 2

c

Explanation:

the coefficient of a term is the numeric value preceding the variable

given the expression

1.4 + 7y

the term with the variable y is 7y

the numeric value preceding the variable y is 7 , then

the coefficient of y is 7
