Hi there,

Before we can know what the co-efficient is, we need to understand what that means in the first place :)

A coefficient of a variable is the numeral right next to the variable in question.

What's our variable here? The variable is M

Thus,

The coefficient is 2

Please leave 5 stars and a like if you find this answer to be helpful.

Happy to help!
