Standard form: 2m^2 + 7m - 3
Degree: 2
Terms: 3

Explanation:

In standard form, these terms will be expressed from highest to lowest exponent:
2m^2 + 7m - 3

Classifying by degree means to find the highest exponent of the terms, so the degree is 2.

A term is a value split by the addition and subtraction operations, so there are 3 terms.

Hope this helps!
