Since the x values (1) and (1) are the same, we just have to worry about the (5) and (-5)
the distance between a (5) and (-5)
would be (5) - (-5)
which is equal to (5) + (5) = 10
therefore your answer would be C. 10
note that distance should always be a positive number
We are told in the question that 1 carat is equal to 200 mg.
The Hope Diamond is 44.5 carats. Let's multiply the weight of 1 carat by 44.5 to get the weight of the Hope Diamond in mg:

The total weight of the Hope Diamond is 8,900 mg. However the question asks for the weight in grams. There are 1000 mg in 1 gram, so let's divide the known weight of the Hope Diamond in mg by 1000 to get the weight converted to grams:

Now we know that
the weight of the Hope Diamond is equal to 8.9 grams.
Rise = 8
Run = 1
Slope = 8
