Which option has both the coefficient of (x) and the constant term negative?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: -4x-3
In \(-4x-3\), the coefficient of \(x\) is \(-4\) and the constant term is \(-3\). Hence, both are negative. In option B, the coefficient of \(x\) is negative, but the constant term \(+3\) is positive. Exam tip: In a linear polynomial \(ax+b\), \(a\) is the coefficient of \(x\) and \(b\) is the constant term.
