The word Algebra literally means the re-union of broken parts.

The constant term in an expression or equation has a fixed value and does not contain variables.
So, $-6$ is the constant term in $q(y)=y^3-3y^2-6+y$

Egyptians used the symbol heap for the unknown in algebra.

The constant term in an expression or equation has a fixed value and does not contain variables.
So, $-12$ is the constant term in the expression, $23x^3+12x^2-6x-12$.

Constant term has zero degree of polynomial.
Because the constant term in an expression or equation has a fixed value and does not contain variables.
Example: $p(x)=k$
Where $k$ is a constant.

Given equation is $0.4x^{7}-75y^{2}-075$

General equation is $ax^3+bx^2+cx+d$ 

Polynomial has only 1 variable $x$ in the equation.

There are two variables in the given equation, i.e. $x$ and $y$ while $1$ is a constant.

Polynomial has only 1 variable $y$ in the equation.
