You could change the equation to slope intercept form:
3x - 7y = 11
-7y = 11 - 3x
y = (11 - 3x)/-7
y = 3/7 x - 11/7
The slope would be 3/7

Which can also be found by using -A/B, A being 3 and B being -7

slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m=slope and b=yintercept so

3x-7y=11
add 7y to both sideds
3x=11+7y
subtract 11 from both sides
3x-11=7y
divide both sides by 7
3/7x-11/7=y
y=3/7x-11/7

slope is 3/7
