Find the Degree, Leading Term, and Leading Coefficient 1-x/5

$1 - \frac{x}{5}$

Reorder $1$ and $- \frac{x}{5}$ .

$- \frac{x}{5} + 1$

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms.

Identify the exponents on the variables in each term, and add them together to find the degree of each term.

$- \frac{x}{5} \to 1$

$1 \to 0$

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$1$

The leading term in a polynomial is the term with the highest degree.

$- \frac{x}{5}$

The leading coefficient of a polynomial is the coefficient of the leading term.

The leading term in a polynomial is the term with the highest degree.
