Which option has a linear polynomial with constant term (-8)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(3x-8\)
In a linear polynomial, the term without a variable is called the constant term. In \(3x-8\), the variable-free term is \(-8\), so option A is correct. In \(-8x+3\), \(-8\) is the coefficient of \(x\), while the constant term is \(3\). Exam tip: identify the term that has no variable to find the constant term.
