Answer:

The slope of the line is -2

Explanation:

The general formula depicting equation of a straight line is as given by the relationship between the x axis and y axis below;

y = mx+c where;

m is the slope of the line = ∆y/∆x

c is the intercept. Intercept is a point where the straight line cuts the y axis.

Comparing the general equation of the line with the given equation if the line which is y = -2x+11

m = -2

And since m is the slope, therefore the slope of the line will be -2.
