Answer:

7

Explanation:

The degree of each term is the sum of the degrees of the variables in it.

Term, Degrees

-5, 0

-5x^2wy^4, x:2, w:1, y:4 -- term degree = 2+1+4 = 7

-y^4x^2, y:4, x:2 -- term degree = 4+2 = 6

-4w^3, w:3 -- term degree = 3

The highest of these is 7, so the degree of this polynomial is 7.
