Answer:
It is degree
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree of a polynomial is the degree of the highest degree term that has non-zero coefficient.
The degree of a term is the sum of the powers on the variables in that term. A non-zero constant term has degree
0
.
This polynomial can be written as
3
x
2
y
1
−
5
x
2
And the degree of each term is
3
x
2
y
1
→
3
5
x
2
→
2
Since
3
>
2
, the degree of the entire polynomial is
3
.
