The derivative of the function $f(x) = -7x + 11$ with respect to $x$ is the coefficient of $x$, which is $-7$. This is because the derivative of a constant is 0, and the derivative of $x$ is 1, making the derivative of $-7x$ equal to $-7$. The value of $x$ does not affect the derivative in this linear function.
