The leading coefficient is the number in front of the variable with the largest exponent. The constant term is the number which does not have a variable attached to it, so it does not change, hence its constant nature.

Equation 1: Correct

0 = 3x^2 + 2x - 2

Equation 2: Incorrect

0 = -3x^2 + 1

Equation 3: Correct

0 = 3x^2 - 3x - 2

Equation 4: Incorrect

0 = 3x^2 + x + 2

Equation 5: Correct

0 = 3x^2 - 1x - 2

Hope this helps!! :)
