Question

how many lines can be constructed through point p that are perpendicular to ab? a b p 0 2 1

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the perpendicular line theorem

In a plane, through a given point outside a line, there is exactly one line perpendicular to the given line. Here, point \(P\) is outside the line \(\overleftrightarrow{AB}\). So, there is exactly one line that can be constructed through point \(P\) and is perpendicular to \(\overleftrightarrow{AB}\).
