The y-term is -2y. We know this is the y-term because it is a multiple of the variable y and is not multiplied with any other variables.

A coefficient is a number that a variable is multiplied by. When there is a number followed by a variable, the number is the coefficient.

In this case, the coefficient of the y-term is -2. The coefficient is negative because 2y is being subtracted, meaning the 2 is negative rather than positive.

Hope this helps!

First thing you have to do is divide up the 3 columns on the right so that all of the squares are the same size. (I did that in black, you can see it on the picture I attached). Then total all of the little squares. I did this in red, and got 50. Now just count up how many of the lighter colored squares you have, I highlighted them in yellow on my picture. I got 14 light squares. So you end up with fourteen light squares out of 50 total squares, which is 14/50. *apologizes for the bad handwriting on the image I did it on phone. If that didn’t help just comment and let me know what’s still unclear.
