Please explain the answer. Thanks!

(a) Define a relation on the set of points in the coordinate plane
by setting (x, y) <1 (x',y') ifx<x'. Is <1 a preorder? A partial
order? A total order? As always, justify your answer.
(b) Repeat the preceding question for the relation defined by (x, y) <2
(x',y') if x <x' and y<y.
(c) Repeat the preceding question for the relation defined by (x, y) <3
(x' ,y') if x < x' or y <y'.
(d) Repeat the preceding question for the relation defined by (x, y) <4
(x', y') if x < x', or x=x' and y < y. (For example, (3,4) <4
(3,5), and (4,5) <4 (5,3).)
