To find the slope and y-intercept, the equation needs to be in slope-intercept form, $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. Starting with $-x + 11y = 66$, adding $x$ to both sides gives $11y = x + 66$. Dividing everything by 11 gives $y = \frac{1}{11}x + 6$, making the slope $\frac{1}{11}$ and the y-intercept $6$.
