Answer: hello your question is poorly written below is the complete 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.

answer:

a ) R is equivalence

b) y = 2x + C

Explanation:

a) Prove that R is an equivalence relation

Every line is seen to be parallel to itself ( i.e. reflexive ) also

L1 is parallel to L2 and L2 is as well parallel to L1 ( i.e. symmetric ) also

If we presume L1 is parallel to L2 and L2 is also parallel to L3 hence we can also conclude that L1 is parallel to L3 as well ( i.e. transitive )

with these conditions we can conclude that ; R is equivalence

b) show the set of all lines related to y = 2x + 4

The set of all line that is related to y = 2x + 4

y = 2x + C

because parallel lines have the same slopes.
