y=mx + b
M stands for the slope.
In this case it would be -2

Answer:

B) -2

Explanation:

The general form of slope-intercept form is y = mx +b, where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

The given equation is y = -2x + 11

Now compare the given equation with the general form and find the value of slope (m).

By comparing, we get m = -2

So, the slope of the given equation is -2
