Answer:

~ is reflexive.

~ is asymmetric.

~ is transitive.

Step-by-step explanation:

~ is reflexive:

i.e., to prove $ \forall (a, b) \in \mathbb{R}^2 $, $ (a, b) R(a, b) $.

That is, every element in the domain is related to itself.

The given relation is $\sim: (a,b) \sim (c, d) \iff a^2 + b^2 \leq c^2 + d^2$

Reflexive:

$ (a, b) \sim (a, b) $ since $ a^2 + b^2 = a^2 + b^2 $

This is true for any pair of numbers in $ \mathbb{R}^2 $. So, $ \sim $ is reflexive.

Symmetry:

$ \sim $ is symmetry iff whenever $ (a, b) \sim (c, d) $ then $  (c, d) \sim (a, b) $.

Consider the following counter - example.

Let (a, b) = (2, 3) and (c, d) = (6, 3)

$ a^2 + b^2 = 2^2 + 3^2 = 4 + 9 = 13 $

$ c^2 + d^2 = 6^2 + 3^2 = 36 + 9 = 42 $

Hence, $ (a, b) \sim (c, d) $ since $ a^2 + b^2 \leq c^2 + d^2 $

Note that $ c^2 + d^2 \nleq a^2 + b^2 $

Hence, the given relation is not symmetric.

Transitive:

$ \sim $ is transitive iff whenever $ (a, b) \sim (c, d) \hspace{2mm} \& \hspace{2mm} (c, d) \sim (e, f) $ then $ (a, b) \sim (e, f) $

To prove transitivity let us assume $ (a, b) \sim (c, d) $ and $ (c, d) \sim (e, f) $.

We have to show $ (a, b) \sim (e, f) $

Since $ (a, b) \sim (c, d) $ we have: $ a^2 + b^2 \leq c^2 + d^2 $

Since $ (c, d) \sim (e, f) $ we have: $ c^2 + d^2 \leq e^2 + f^2 $

Combining both the inequalities we get:

$ a^2 + b^2 \leq c^2 + d^2 \leq e^2 + f^2 $

Therefore, we get:  $ a^2 + b^2 \leq e^2 + f^2 $

Therefore, $ \sim $ is transitive.

Hence, proved.

What is the slope of the line that has an x-intercept at x=12 and a y-intercept at y=−20?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The slope is 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(12,0)

(0,-20)

Changes in y is -20-0=-20

Changes in x is 0-12=-12

Rise(y) over run(x) = -20/-12

-5/-3

5/3

What's the slope and y-intercept of the equation 3x + 4y = 8?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Slope = -3/4

y-intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y = 8\\\therefore 4y = -3x +8\\\therefore y = \frac{-3}{4}x+ \frac{8}{4}\\\therefore y = \frac{-3}{4}x+2\\Equating \: it \: with\: \\y=mx+b\\Slope\:(m) = \frac{-3}{4}\\y-intercept\:(b) = 2
