Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Formula to determine length on coordinate plane
The distance (d) between two points is given by the following formula:

d=sqrt%28%28x2-x1%29%5E2+%2B+%28y2-y1%29%5E2%29

Thus in our case, the required distance is
d=sqrt%28%28-1-7%29%5E2+%2B+%285-11%29%5E2%29=+10+
