The distance between the two points is $5$ .

$d=sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)$

Plug in our points $(-4,11)$ and $(-7,7)$ :

$d=sqrt((-7-(-4))^2+(7-11)^2)$

$color(white)d=sqrt((-7+4)^2+(7-11)^2)$

$color(white)d=sqrt((-3)^2+(-4)^2)$

$color(white)d=sqrt(9+16)$

$color(white)d=sqrt25$

$color(white)d=5$

That's the distance. Hope this helped!
