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

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 $\frac{2}{67}$
