Break the systematic name down: there's one methyl group present, what atoms are present in a methyl group? What does the 2 indicate about where this methyl group is on the longest chain?
What does the stem prop- tell you about the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain?
The name ends with ene, so it's an alkene, meaning it has a double bond.
