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

If you write the equation of a line in the form

$y = m x + q$ $y=mx+q$

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

$67 y + 11 = 2 x$ $67y+11=2x$

subtract $11$ $11$ to both sides:

$67 y = 2 x - 11$ $67y = 2x-11$

divide both sides by $67$ $67$ :

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

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