Let A be the set of all lines in xy-plane and let R be relation in A , defind by `R={(L_(1),L_(2)):L_(1)||L_(2)}.` show that R is an equivalence relation in A. Find the set of all lines related to the line ` Y=3x+5.`

Answer» the given relation satisfies the following properties :
(i) reflexivituy
Let L be an arbitrary line in A then ,
`L||Limplies (L,L)in R AALin A.`
thus ,R is reflexive .
(ii) Symmetry
Let `L_(1),L_(2) in A ` such that `(L_(1),L_(2) ) in R.`then ,
`(L_(1),L_(2))in Rimplies L_(1)||L_(2)`
`implies L_(2)||L_(1)`
`implies (L_(2),L_(1))in R.`
`therefore ` R is symmetric .
(iii) transitivity
`Let L_(1),L_(2),L_(3) in A ` such that `(L_(1),L_(2)) in R and (L_(2),L_(3))in R.`
then ,`(L_(1),L_(2))in R and (L_(2),L_(3))in R`
`implies L_(1)||L_(2)and L_(2)||L_(3))`
`implies L_(1)||L_(3)`
`implies (L_(1),L_(3))in R.`
`therefore`R is transitive.
thus R is reflexive symmetric and transitive .
hence ,R is an equivalence relation .
the family of lines parallel to the line `y=3x+5` is given by `y=3x+k,` which k is real .
