\frac{6 - 1}{ - 2 - a}  =  \frac{9 - 1}{ - 12 - a - 2}  \\  \frac{5}{ - 2 - a}  =  \frac{8}{ - 14 - a}  \\ 16 + 8a = 70 + 5a \\ 3a = 54 >  > a = 18

Which points can be connected to draw a line of symmetry through this diamond?
Makovka662 [10]

The line is drawn at point A and Point C is a line of symmetry because lines of symmetry make exactly two halves with similar shapes and sizes.

<h3>What is a line of symmetry?</h3>

It is defined as the line which will make exactly two halves with similar shape and size in geometry. For a two-dimensional shape, there is a line of symmetry, and for three-dimensional shapes, there is a plane of symmetry. In other words, if we make a mirror image of the shape around the line of symmetry, we will get exactly the same half portion.

We have given a figure in the picture.

The figure is a quadrilateral(a kite)

As we know, lines of symmetry make exactly two halves with similar shapes and sizes.

IF we draw a line from Point A to Point C we will get two similar and figures in size and shape.

Thus, the line is drawn point A and Point C is a line of symmetry because lines of symmetry make exactly two halves with similar shapes and sizes.

Solve 16(t - 1) + 10 &gt; 8(t + 2) + 4(t - 1) + 4t.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is it has no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequality

                   16(t - 1) + 10 > 8(t + 2) + 4(t - 1) + 4t

-Expand

                   16t - 16 + 10 > 8t + 16 + 4t - 4 + 4t

- Group like terms

                   16t - 8t - 4t - 4t > 16 - 4 + 16 - 10

-Simplify

                                       0 > 18

- It has no solution because the variable is cancelled.
