The polynomial is classified as a

-quadratic trinomial
-linear monomial
-linear trinomial

Answer 1

The polynomial 9x − 3y + 7 would be classified as a linear trinomial. This is because there are no exponents of two, making it linear, not quadratic. However, there are three terms, making it a trinomial. Hope this helps!
