Find the Degree, Leading Term, and Leading Coefficient -9+x

$- 9 + x$

Reorder $- 9$ and $x$ .

$x - 9$

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.

$x \to 1$

$- 9 \to 0$

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$1$

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

$x$
