in the expression -9x - 2 x^2 +7 what us the coefficient of X?

-9
-2
9
7
Plz helppp

You asked for the coefficient of x, which is -9

The coefficient of the x^2 term is -2

but how? im really lost in this topic... so it will be a very big weight off my shoulders if someone could kindly explain it to me!

put it in mathway . com

I did i got -2 i was just making sure with u guys first.... but TYSM anyway!!! XD

To find the coefficient of x in the expression -9x - 2x^2 + 7, you need to look at the term that contains the variable x. In this case, it's -9x. The coefficient of x is the number that multiplies x, which is -9. Therefore, the coefficient of x is -9.
