That's a binomial. It means that the expression consists of two terms, in this case 6/m and 5. Bi means two.

A monomial has 1 term, and it doesn't matter whether it has 1 variable or more.
A binomial has 2 terms, regardless of the number of variables.
A polynomial has more than 2 terms. A binomial is also a polynomial.
monomial: 6/m
binomial: 6/m + 5 (term 1 = 6/m) (term 2 = + 5)
polynomial: 6/m + 5 + x (term 1 = 6/m) (term 2 = + 5)
(term 3 = + x)
another example of monomial: 3xyz (1 term, 3 variables)
another example of binomial: 6xyz + 4x

its a monomial... if theres a plus sign between to separate things, its a binomial. but bcuz its over m its not

If the equation has only one letter its a monomial. two letters, binomial and so on.

poly meaning many
nomial name or term
so, anything with many or more than one term is a polynomial.
mono - one, single ex. monorail
bi - two ex. bisect, bicycle
tri - three ex. tripod
