Perpendicular line construction

Directions

Use the compass tool to construct a line perpendicular to a given line that passes through a given point. To do this on Geogebra, do the following:
  • Construct a circle, centered at the given point, that intersects the given line twice
  • Construct the perpendicular bisector of the segment made by the points of intersection of the circle and the line.
