1. The problem asks to find the equations of lines symmetric to the given lines with respect to the line $y=1$.
2. The line of symmetry is $y=1$. For any point $(x,y)$ on the original line, its symmetric point $(x,y')$ satisfies:
$$y' = 2 \cdot 1 - y = 2 - y$$
This means the symmetric line's equation can be found by replacing $y$ with $2 - y'$ and solving for $y'$.
3. For each given line $y = mx + b$, substitute $y$ with $2 - y'$:
$$2 - y' = mx + b \implies y' = 2 - (mx + b) = -mx + (2 - b)$$
4. Apply this to each line:
(1) $y = 2x + 1$:
$$y' = -2x + (2 - 1) = -2x + 1$$
(2) $y = x - 1$:
$$y' = -x + (2 - (-1)) = -x + 3$$
(3) $y = 3x - 4$:
$$y' = -3x + (2 - (-4)) = -3x + 6$$
(4) $y = -x - 6$:
$$y' = x + (2 - (-6)) = x + 8$$
(5) $y = 0.5x + 6$:
$$y' = -0.5x + (2 - 6) = -0.5x - 4$$
5. Therefore, the symmetric lines with respect to $y=1$ are:
1) $y = -2x + 1$
2) $y = -x + 3$
3) $y = -3x + 6$
4) $y = x + 8$
5) $y = -0.5x - 4$
