Answer 2

Given:

A term -y/3.

To find:

The coefficient of y in the given term.

Solution:

To answer this, we should know that a term usually consists of variables and coefficients. A variable is indeterminate while coefficient is the number that is multiplied with the variable.

For example- in the term 3x, the 3 is called the coefficient while x is called the variable.

So, as given, we have a term,

$\frac{ - y}{3}$

This can be written as

$\frac{ - 1}{3} \times y$

Hence, the coefficient of y in the term -y/3 is -1/3.
