In the expression \( 5r \), the constant term is the term that remains when all variable terms are set to zero. In this case, "5" is a coefficient of the variable \( r \).

Since there is no standalone constant term in the expression \( 5r \) (as it is dependent on the value of \( r \)), we can conclude that:

- There is no constant term in \( 5r \) other than the coefficient when \( r = 1 \) or when considering \( r = 0 \).
- If \( r = 0 \), then \( 5r = 0 \).

Therefore, for the purpose of identifying a constant term in \( 5r \) alone, there isn't a constant because it depends on the value of \( r \). If \( r \) is a variable, the expression does not have a constant term.
