The numerical factor of a term is called the "coefficient."
A coefficient.
Multiplicand times multiplier equals product. If the expression includes a variable, the numeral is the coefficient.
No. In the variable x, alone, it is linear. In the variable y, alone, it is linear. But taken together, in x and y, you have a term which contains xy - that is, a term in which the powers of the unknowns add to 2. So the equation is not linear.
9 is the constant. 5 is the coefficient of the variable term. X is the variable term.
