If you mean {(0, 0)} then that's not reflexive over Z_251 since, for example, 1 is not related to 1.

I suggest starting with the empty set and adding ordered pairs only as required by the axioms. Start with reflexivity.

Don't forget to check that, after meeting some requirements, you check earlier properties to make sure they still apply.

I'm just suggesting starting with the empty relation and adding in all pairs required by reflexivity (how many pairs? what is the relation now?), then adding in those required by symmetry, those by antisymmetry, then those required by transitivity. 1. { } 2. ? 3. ? 4. ? 5. ? Once you do this, repeat the earlier steps until the relation stays the same through a whole cycle. (If you don't do that you might find that making the relation transitive has caused it to lose symmetry or something like that.)
