I need to tell if the relation $le$ defined by relationship $langle 𝑥_1, 𝑦_1 rangle le langle 𝑥_2, 𝑦_2 rangle$, if $𝑥_1 le 𝑥_2$ $land$ $𝑦_1 ge 𝑦_2$ linear order?



I have already proven that the relation is an order, but I need to decide if it is a linear order and why. Thanks for any help!

A linear order needs two elements to be comparable i.e. for $left<x_1,y_1right>,left<x_2,y_2right>$
we have either
$$left<x_1,y_1right>preceqleft<x_2,y_2right>$$
or $$left<x_2,y_2right>preceqleft<x_1,y_1right>.$$
If you can find two pairs where neither is the case, you have proven that the relation can't be a linear order.
