Question

What would be the coefficient of y in this expression:

2y^2/6 + 5/7 + y/4.
I’m thinking it is 1 or 4 but cannot come to a conclusion, and there is nothing on the internet for this
Thank you.

Answer 1

is it written like this?

if so then the coefficient of y is 1

Answer 2

¼

Explanation:

A coefficient is the number that comes before a variable, including its sign (plus/minus). Thus, the coefficient of y is the number that comes before the variable y.

`(y)/(4)` can also be written as
`(1)/(4) y`. Since the sign before ¼ is a plus sign, the coefficient of y can simply be written as ¼.
