Relation L Parallel M

1. The objective was to verify that the relation R, defined as R={(l,m): l||m} for lines l and m in a plane, is an equivalence relation. 2. The method involved pasting wires randomly on a piece of plywood to represent lines, some parallel and some perpendicular. 3. It was observed that every line was parallel to itself, lines were either parallel or not, and if l||m and m||n then l||n, showing the relation is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive, and therefore an equivalence relation.
