A constant term is a number that doesn’t have a variable. The only number in that equation that doesn’t have one is 6, so that’s it.

Answer: 6

Explanation:

I assume you meant to write 8xy − 9x2y − 5x + 6. The constant term in an expression is defined as a number by itself that contains no variables. Therefore, the answer is 6.
