Answer:

For the algebraic expression \(-x + 10.2 - \frac{1}{2}x + y\):

• Terms: \(-x\), \(10.2\), \(-\frac{1}{2}x\), and \(y\)
• Coefficients: \(-1\) (for \(-x\)), \(-\frac{1}{2}\) (for \(-\frac{1}{2}x\)), and \(1\) (for \(y\))
• Constants: \(10.2\)
• Variables: \(x\) and \(y\)
• Like Terms: \(-x\) and \(-\frac{1}{2}x\)
