-9 because it wants the coefficient which is the number before a variable which in this case -9b so the number before it is -9

The coefficient is -9
not 9.

Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficient is whatever numbers come before a variable. And it’s the numbers actual value, not it’s absolute value. So the answer is -9

Hope this helps!
