It's degree is 4.

Explanation:

For a polynomial with two variables.
Degree is defined as collective highest power of both variables.

In term 1313 degree is 00.
,and in term - 4ab4ab degree is 22 as 11 degree of aa and 11 of bb.
,and finally the degree in term 5a^3b5a3b is 3+1=43+1=4.
Hence the degree of polynomial 5a^3b -4ab + 13 5a3b4ab+13 is 4
and its leading co-efficient is 5.
