Terms: #-22m#, #-2n#, and #1#.

Coefficients: #-22# and #-2#

Constant: #1#

Explanation:

Given:

#-22m-2n+1#

Terms are separated by positive and negative signs. A coefficient is the number in front of a variable, which is a letter (#m# and #n# in this expression). No coefficient is understood to be #1#. A constant does not have a variable.
