This is the term in a polynomial without a variable.

Example: -6 in the expression 2x + 3y - 6

It is called a constant.
Remember a "variable" means that the value of that term can change depending on the value of the "x" or "y". Since (in this case), -6 does not have a variable attached, it will not change, it will remain CONSTANT.
