#7/57#

Explanation:

We can change this equation into slope-intercept form

#y=mx+b#

Where #m# is the slope, what we're looking for, and #b# is the y-intercept.

We can change our equation, #11=-57y+7x# into slope-intercept form by subtracting #7x# to both sides. We get:

#-57y=-7x+11#

Now we divide everything by #-57# to isolate #y#, which gets us:

#y=7/57x-11/57#

The coefficient on the #x# term is #7/57#, therefore this is our slope.
