Classify a polynomial and determine degree and leading coefficient

The video tutorial explains how to classify a polynomial by rewriting it in descending order. It identifies the degree of the polynomial as the largest exponent, which is 2 in this case, and the leading coefficient as the number multiplied by the term with the highest degree, which is -1. Despite having two terms, the polynomial is classified as quadratic due to its degree.
