Question about Anti Symmetricity
$begingroup$
If there are no relations on the set R where (a,b) ∈ R and (b,a) ∈ R is it anti symmetrical because you can't evaluate if a = b or is it not anti-symmetrical because you can't evaluate if a = b?
ex)
R = {(1,1),(2,1),(2,2),(3,1),(3,3),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4)}
I don't see a relation where (a,b) and (b,a) ∈ R so I can't evaluate if a = b

This relation is antisymmetric. If there is no $a,b in R$ such that $aneq b$ and where both $(a,b) in R$ and $(b,a) in R$, then $R$ is antisymmetric.
For this particular relation, the only four times we have both $(a,b) in R$ and $(b,a) in R$ are where $a=b$, namely:
begin{eqnarray*}
a=1, ; b=1 && qquad text{since $(1,1) in R$} \
a=2, ; b=2 && qquad text{since $(2,2) in R$} \
a=3, ; b=3 && qquad text{since $(3,3) in R$} \
a=4, ; b=4 && qquad text{since $(4,4) in R$}. \
end{eqnarray*}
