First, plot your points on a graph. 
Plot a point that will connect the two and form a right triangle, I formed the point Z( 7,5) 
Now, determine the disance between points 
7 + 1 = 8 YZ
11- 6 = 5 XZ
Use the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2  to find the distance from XY.
8^2 + 5^2 = {{{sqrt(89)}}} This is our answer.
