Question

In $7-p+q$, the term with factor $p$ is $-p$ and its coefficient is ________.

Answer 1

A coefficient is a multiplicative factor.

The coefficient of $p$ will be all other constants and variables from the given term($-p$) which are multiplied to $p$.

Here, $-1$ is multiplied to $p$.

Hence, the coefficient of $p$ is $-1$.

Therefore, In $7-p+q$, the term with factor $p$ is $-p$ and its coefficient is $-1$.
