Question

1. draw a line perpendicular to the given line and through the given point.

Explanation:

Step1: Place compass on point

Place the point - of a compass on the given point.

Step2: Draw arcs intersecting line

Draw two arcs that intersect the given line at two different points.

Step3: Set compass on intersection points

Set the compass on each of the two intersection - points and draw arcs of equal radius on the opposite side of the line from the given point. The two new arcs will intersect.

Step4: Draw perpendicular line

Draw a line connecting the given point and the intersection of the two new arcs. This is the perpendicular line.

Answer:

The perpendicular line is drawn as described in the steps above.
