An example of a polynomial with a degree of 2 is z%5E2%2Bz-1
Its leading coefficient is 1.
An example of a polynomial with a degree of 3 is 3z%5E3-15
Its leading coefficient is 3.
Following these examples using your equation we have -9z%2B1
The degree would be the highest power of the variable in this case 1.
The leading coefficient would be -9.
