How is this relation transitive?

117 Views Asked by At

$$R = \{(0,1), (0,2)\}$$

I drew out a directed graph; however, I still do not see how this relation is transitive. If $0$ was reflexive, then it is transitive; however, that is clearly not the case here.

This relation is vacuously transitive as there is no case where $(a,b)\in R$ and $(b,c)\in R$ so the hypothesis for transitivity is never satisfied.
