Answer:

Yes, it is a polynomial, and the degree is 5

Explanation:

A polynomial is a combination of terms separated using + or − signs and normally have exponents. So, this equation is a polynomial. The degree is just the highest exponential value, which is 5 because -5y is being raised to the 5th power
