Take the cross product, then normalize the result.

\mathbf a\times\mathbf b=\begin{vmatrix}\mathbf i&\mathbf j&\mathbf k\\1&7&1\\1&11&1\end{vmatrix}=-4\,\mathbf i+4\,\mathbf k

This has norm

\|\mathbf a\times\mathbf b\|=\sqrt{(-4)^2+4^2}=4\sqrt2

and so a unit vector orthogonal to both given vectors is

\dfrac{\mathbf a\times\mathbf b}{\|\mathbf a\times\mathbf b\|}=-\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\,\mathbf i+\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\,\mathbf k

An equally correct answer would be the negative of this vector, since \mathbf b\times\mathbf a=-\mathbf a\times\mathbf b.
