To construct a perpendicular line that goes through a given point to a line, you will need a compass and a ruler. To draw a perpendicular line from the point P to the line, start by setting your ...

Now use the information you already have about finding the equation of a line and apply it to the dashed lines shown in these triangles. Remember, to find the equation of a line you need a point ...

The perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a segment and divides it into two congruent segments. Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the ...
