Question

Let L be the set of all lines in XY-plane and R be the relation in L defined as R = {L1, L2) : L1 is parallel to L2}. Show that R is an equivalence relation. Find the set of all lines related to the line y= 2x + 4.

Solution

We observe the following properties of R.

Reflexivity: Let L1 be an arbitrary element of the set L. Then,

L∈ L

⇒ L1 is parallel to L1              [Every line is parallel to itself]

⇒ (L1, L1∈ R  for all L∈ L

So, R is reflexive on L.

Symmetry : Let (L1, L2∈ R

⇒ L1  is parallel to L2

⇒ L2  is parallel to L1

⇒ (L2, L1∈ R  for all L1 and L∈ L

So, R is symmetric on L.

Transitivity : Let (L1, L2) and (L2, L3∈ R

⇒ L1  is parallel to L2  and L2  is parallel to L3

⇒ L1, L2 and L3 are all parallel to each other

L1 is parallel to L3

(L1, L3∈ R

So, R is transitive on L.

Hence, R is an equivalence relation on L.

Set of all the lines related to y = 2x+4
                                                 = L' = {(x, y) : y = 2x+c, where c∈ R}
