Hi! Hope you are having a nice day!
The leading coefficient of the given polynomial is -7.
Why? Because the leading coefficient is the number written before the variable with the largest exponent.
In this case, it's -7, because it's written next to a term that's cubed, and that's the largest exponent in the polynomial.
Also, if a term has two variables (or more) then we add the exponents in that term in order to get the degree of the term.
In this case, it's 5.
Hope you could understand everything.
