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!
