Definition of Constant

A constant is a value which is fixed. It does not change

A constant term in an algebraic expression is a number that stands on its own. Sometimes letters like \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are used to represent constants.

For example, in the algebraic expression \(3x + 4 = 7\), \(4\) and \(7\) are constants. In the equation \(y = mx + b\), \(b\) represents a constant.
