Question

in the expression 4y + 5, the 5 is called a ______. constant coefficient variable factor

Explanation:

In the algebraic expression \(4y + 5\), a constant is a term that has a fixed value and does not contain a variable. The term \(5\) has no variable (like \(y\)) associated with it and its value remains constant. A coefficient is a number multiplied by a variable (e.g., \(4\) is the coefficient of \(y\)), a variable is a symbol representing an unknown value (e.g., \(y\)), and a factor is a number or expression that divides another number or expression evenly. So, \(5\) is a constant.

Answer:

A. Constant
