Question

Name the property of equality that justifies this statement: if l=m , then m=l .

a. multiplication property
b. symmetric property
c. subtraction property
d. transitive property

Answer 1

b. the symmetric property

Answer 2

The property of equality that justifies this statement: if l=m , then m=l is:

b. symmetric property

Explanation:

We know that the symmetric property of relations states that if a is related to b by any relation R i.e. a R b

then b is also related to a by the same relation i.e. b R a

Hence, we have a relation as a equality relation,

i.e. a R b means a=b

Hence, symmetric property states that

b R a that means b=a

Hence, the answer is:

Option: b
