Coefficients are the number part of the terms with variables:

8y%5E2+%2B+12x+-+5y+%2B+7
the coefficient of the first term is 8
the coefficient of the second term is 12, and
the coefficient of third term is -5
7 is a constant,( constants are the terms in the algebraic expression that contain only numbers; that is, they're the terms without variables)
