The slope is #\frac{2}{67}#

Explanation:

If you write the equation of a line in the form

#y=mx+q#

the #x# coefficient, #m#, will be the slope. Let's rewrite your equation with this goal: add #67y# to both sides to get

#67y+11=2x#

subtract #11# to both sides:

#67y = 2x-11#

divide both sides by #67#:

#y = \frac{2}{67}x-\frac{11}{67}#

So, the slope is #\frac{2}{67}#
