Planes q and r are parallel planes. plane q contains line a. plane r contains line b. if a third plane could be drawn which contains both lines a and b, then lines a and b must be parallel. lines a and b cannot be parallel. lines a and b must be skew. lines a and b must be perpendicular.

The correct answer is:
lines a and b must be parallel

See the attached figure.

=======================================

Note:
1. skewed lines cannot be in one plane
2. If a and b are perpendicular, they shoulde be in plane Q or R

The answer is the third choice

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

when multiplying or dividing by a negative on both sides you have to flip the inequality sign. this rule only applies to multiplying or dividing by a negative number in inequality equations. this rule is really important.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
