Answer

monomial, x, -4, 2.

Work Step by Step

Monomials have the form: $$ax^k$$ where $a$ is a constant coefficient, $x$ is a variable, and $k$ is a non-negative integer (the degree). The expression $-4x^2$ is a monomial because it matches the form above. We can see that: - The variable is $x$. - The coefficient is -4. - The degree is 2.
