In the expression -7x-5x^2, what is the coefficient of x?
A.7
B.5
C.-5
D.-7
Is the answer D??
I think it's C because -5x^2 is the leading coefficient.
So it's C then? Thank you😀
Uh yeah what Nelly said? C is the answer?
It asked for the coefficient of x, which is -7
What you gave is the coefficient of x^2
the correct answer is D
