In the form y=mx+b, b is the y-intercept and m is the coefficient, so if an equation has a negative coefficient, m<0. As a graph, the slope of the line is negative.

What is the meaning literal coefficient?
Literal coefficient is the number followed in a numerical coefficient.example: 3x - 3 is the numerical coefficient and x is the literal coefficient.=)

What must you do when solving an inequality with a negative coefficient?
Divide by negative one and flip the sign eg -x > 6 / -1 /-1 x < - 6
Can you have a negative coefficient in a direct variation?
Yes, you can have a negative coefficient in a direct variation. So if you had y = -7x, that would be a direct variation. If you have y = -x, I do not know, if that is what you mean. Hope it helped.
Can a coefficient of a variable be negative?

When the a value or the coefficient of the X-Squared term is negative then the quadratic has a minimum value at its vertex?
No.
Is it possible for a coefficient of variation to be negative?
Of course it is! If the mean of a set of data is negative, then the coefficient of variation will be negative.
What is the meaning of coefficients?
3xy -- 3 is the coefficient of the variables x and y All these are being multiplied -- 3 times x times y Definition of coefficient -- A numerical value multiplied by a variable. Numerical values are not only whole numbers, but can be fractions (rational numbers), negative numbers, irrational numbers and imaginary numbers.
