Depends - according to what variable?
It is 2nd degree in x
1st degree in y
3rd degree in x and y

degree of the polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial
therefore
degree in x = 2
degree in y = 1
but since y is not present in all the terms the degree is 2 for x

It is Is second degree. Because highest power is 2

If you are asking about x, then it is to the second degree; if you are asking about y, then it is to the first degree. Just look for the variable with the highest exponent.

the degr3ee is the number of the largest exponent, thus 2 in your case.
( i kmnow that some people will say 3 because ot the y in the first term. this is not correct. )
