Answer 2

$\text{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{Which\ term\ below is\ a\ like\ term\ to\ 2xy^2?}$

$\text{The word like term basically means that you have variables the exact same}$

$\mathsf{So, \ we\ can\ ELIMINATE\ -x^{2y}(Option\ B)\ and\ -5\ (Option\ C)\ as\ your}\\\mathsf{answers}$

$\mathsf{This\ leaves\ us\ with 3xy^2(Option\ A)\ and\ 4xy(Option\ D)\ as\ your}\\\mathsf{your\ possible\ answers}$

$\text{For option D. Yes it has the x \& y variables but it doesn't have them}\\\text{squared. So, now we can ELIMINATE that as your answer!}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{Thus,\ this\ leaves your\ \boxed{\mathsf{\bf{Option\ A. 3xy^2}}}\ as\ your\ answer}}}\checkmark$

$\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
