Answer:

For the set X = {a, b, c}, the following three relations satisfy the required conditions in (a), (b) and (c) respectively.

(a) R = {(a,a), (b,b), (c, c), (a, b), (b, a), (b, c), (c, b)} is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive .

(b) R = {(a, a), (b, b), (c, c), (a, b)} is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric .

(c) R = {(a,a), (a, b), (b, a)} is symmetric and transitive but not reflexive .

Step-by-step explanation:

Before, we go on to check these relations for the desired properties, let us define what it means for a relation to be reflexive, symmetric or transitive.

Given a relation R on a set X,

R is said to be reflexive if for every a \in X, (a,a) \in R.

R is said to be symmetric if for every (a, b) \in R, (b, a) \in R.

R is said to be transitive if (a, b) \in R and (b, c) \in R, then (a, c) \in R.

(a) Let R = {(a,a), (b,b), (c, c), (a, b), (b, a), (b, c), (c, b)}.

Reflexive: (a, a), (b, b), (c, c) \in R

Therefore, R is reflexive.

Symmetric: (a, b) \in R \implies (b, a) \in R

Therefore R is symmetric.

Transitive: (a, b) \in R \ and \ (b, c) \in R but but (a,c) is not in  R.

Therefore, R is not transitive.

Therefore, R is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive .

(b) R = {(a, a), (b, b), (c, c), (a, b)}

Reflexive: (a, a), (b, b) \ and \ (c, c) \in R

Therefore, R is reflexive.

Symmetric: (a, b) \in R \ but \ (b, a) \not \in R

Therefore R is not symmetric.

Transitive: (a, a), (a, b) \in R and (a, b) \in R.

Therefore, R is transitive.

Therefore, R is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric .

(c) R = {(a,a), (a, b), (b, a)}

Reflexive: (a, a) \in R but (b, b) and (c, c) are not in R

R must contain all ordered pairs of the form (x, x) for all x in R to be considered reflexive.

Therefore, R is not reflexive.

Symmetric: (a, b) \in R and (b, a) \in R

Therefore R is symmetric.

Transitive: (a, a), (a, b) \in R and (a, b) \in R.

Therefore, R is transitive.

Therefore, R is symmetric and transitive but not reflexive .

Can someone show me how to do this? I’m not sure how to do this
Allushta [10]

Answer: Slope means the gradient. So find the equation of the line first then graph the points on the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+c                 *We want m*

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(0-1)/(6-3)

m=-1/3

y=-1/3x+2          *(0,2) co-ordinate means it's the y-intercept=c*

I think the slope is -1/3 and then just plt the points on the graph manually.
