| Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Formula |
The first point is (x1,y1). The second point is (x2,y2)
Since the first point is (-1, -11), we can say (x1, y1) = (-1, -11)
So  , 
Since the second point is (-1, -3), we can also say (x2, y2) = (-1, -3)
So  , 
Put this all together to get: , , , and
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points (-1, -11) and (-1, -3)
 Plug in , , , and
==========================================================
Answer:
The distance between the two points (-1, -11) and (-1, -3) is exactly 8 units

so, the length is
