Solution

Like Terms :- When two or more algebraic terms have the same variables and the powers of the variables are also the same, then the terms are known as like terms.

Unlike Terms :- When two or more algebraic terms have the different variables and the powers of the variables are also the different, then the terms are known as like terms.
Given expression $3 p^{3} - p - 5 p + 9$
Like terms here are $- p, - 5 p$

As $- p, - 5 p$ are the terms that have same variable and same powers of variable

Hence, $- p, - 5 p$ are the required like terms.
