Terms: -22m22m, -2n2n, and 11.

Coefficients: -2222 and -22

Constant: 11

Explanation:

Given:

-22m-2n+122m2n+1

Terms are separated by positive and negative signs. A coefficient is the number in front of a variable, which is a letter (mm and nn in this expression). No coefficient is understood to be 11. A constant does not have a variable.
