Answer:

A. Skew lines cannot lie in the same plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

(*Which)

Skew Line Definition (from Wikipedia): "In three-dimensional geometry, skew lines are two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel." -Wikipedia

"Two lines that both lie in the same plane must either cross each other or be parallel, so skew lines can exist only in three or more dimensions." -Wikipedia

Skew lines cannot lie in the same plane so A is correct and C is incorrect.

B and D are incorrect because our friend Wikipedia just said it was incorrect.

What are the coordinates of the fourth point that could be connected with (–8, 0), (1, 0), and (1, –5) to form a rectangle?

(-8, -5)

To form a rectangle, all the lines must be perpendicular and parallel. If you draw out the points on a coordinate plane then you can find the answer pretty easily.

Also, this one is easy because all the lines are vertical or horizontal, and when that is the case then you can just see which number in the set hasn't appeared twice (1 appeared twice as an x value, 0 appeared twice as a y value, but -8 has only appeared once as an x and -5 has only appeared once as a y value)
