The coefficient is -9 and it can’t be -2 since -2 is the coefficient of x^2 rather than just x

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient can be found by finding the whole number attached to a variable.

In this case, you are trying to find the coefficient of x. Look at the term -9x. Remember that when finding the coefficient, you must also bring the sign.

-9 is your answer.
