Answer 1

Let's break down the expression \(9x + 4y - 5\):

1. **This expression has** **3** **terms.** (The terms are \(9x\), \(4y\), and \(-5\).)

2. **The coefficient of \(x\) is** **9.** (The coefficient is the number in front of the variable \(x\).)

3. **The coefficient of \(y\) is** **4.** (The coefficient is the number in front of the variable \(y\).)

4. **The constant in this expression is** **-5.** (The constant term is the number without a variable, in this case, \(-5\).)

So, filling in the blanks:

- This expression has **3** terms.
- The coefficient of \(x\) is **9**.
- The coefficient of \(y\) is **4**.
- The constant in this expression is **-5**.
