Question

What is the constant term in the expression 8xy + 9x2 y − 5x − 2? −5 −2 8 9

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

A constant is a number on its own, or sometimes a letter such as a, b or c to stand for a fixed number. In this case, our constant in the expression is -2

Answer 2

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the expression  $8xy + 9x^2y -5x -2$

• $x$ and $y$ are the variables
• The numbers directly before the variables are the coefficients
• The number that it not attached to a variable is the constant term

Therefore, the constant term is -2
