It says to state the degree and leading coefficients of each polynomial. the problem is
-4m-7m^6+6m^5+3m^2
.
The "degree" is the term with the highest exponent. In this case, the term with the highest exponent is -7m^6 -- therefore, the degree is 6.
.
The terms and coefficient:
"-4m" the coefficient is -4
"-7m^6" the coefficient is -7
"6m^5" the coefficient is 6
"3m^2" the coefficient is 3
