Answer

Therefore, the leading coefficient is 2.

Steps

Step 1 ：The leading coefficient of a polynomial is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree.

Step 2 ：In the given function \(f(x) = 2x^3 - 5x^2 + 4x - 7\), the term with the highest degree is \(2x^3\).

Step 3 ：Therefore, the leading coefficient is 2.
