I will assume that you mean

-2xy3+3x2y.

Then by "degree" is usually meant the total degree--the maximum sum of exponents of all variables. Here the first term has degree 1+3=4 and the second term has degree 2+1=3, so the degree of the entire expression is 4.

It is also a 2nd degree expression in x and a 3rd degree expression in y.
