question 3 of 12
what is the best next step in the construction of a line that passes through point b and is perpendicular to line a?
a. use a straightedge to draw a line through points c and e.
b. use a straightedge to draw a line through points b and d.
c. use a straightedge to draw a line through points b and c.
d. use a straightedge to draw a line through points b and e.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perpendicular - line construction

In constructing a perpendicular line from a point to a line, after creating arcs and intersection points, we connect the given point to the intersection of the arcs below the line.

Answer:

D. Use a straightedge to draw a line through points B and E.
