It's degree is 4.

Explanation:

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

In term 13 degree is 0.
,and in term - 4ab degree is 2 as 1 degree of a and 1 of b.
,and finally the degree in term 5a^3b is 3+1=4.
Hence the degree of polynomial 5a^3b -4ab + 13 is 4
and its leading co-efficient is 5.
