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.

Best answer

Hence, R is an equivalence relation. 

The set of all lines related to the line y = 2x + 4 is the set of all lines that are parallel to the line y = 2x + 4. 

Slope of line y = 2x + 4 is m = 2

It is known that parallel lines have the same slopes. 

The line parallel to the given line is of the form y = 2x + c, where c ∈ R. 

Hence, the set of all lines related to the given line is given by y = 2x + c, where c ∈ R.
