[tex]3x {y}^{2} \: + \: 2y \: - \: 4 {y}^{2} \: = \: (3x \: - \: 4) {y}^{2} \: + \: 2y[/tex]
Hence, the coefficient of y² is (3x - 4)
and if the equation is,
[tex]3 {x}^{2} y \: + \: 2y \: - \: 4 {y}^{2} [/tex]
or something else, the coefficient becomes
(–4).

Answer:

a. −4

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient is the number (along with the sign) in front of the term

We have two terms that have y^2 in them, but only one with just y^2

The number( remember to include the sign) in front of y^2 is -4
