To find the distance between the points \((-3, -4)\) and \((4, 7)\), we use the distance formula:

\[
d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
d = \sqrt{(4 - (-3))^2 + (7 - (-4))^2} = \sqrt{(4 + 3)^2 + (7 + 4)^2} = \sqrt{7^2 + 11^2} = \sqrt{49 + 121} = \sqrt{170} \approx 13.0
\]
