7: Construct the Line Through a Given Point, Parallel to the Given Line
Construct a Parallel Line Through Point C.
Given
Construct: The line parallel to through point C
Procedure:
1. Open your textbook to page 382. Follow the directions for construction 7. Your points will be named differently than in the textbook.
Alternatively:
1. Draw line CA. This creates angle CAB.
2. Using line CA as a ray and C as the vertex of the angle, construct an angle congruent to angle CAB. (similar to construction 2).
3. Use the slope tool to check if your lines are parallel!
Remember:
- Given info: red
- Arcs utilized in construction: green
- The final construction: blue
