So if i can pick two arbitrary points on this line, and if i can make a line that is always equidistant from those two points, then that line will be perpendicular. It works by creating a line segment on the given line, then bisecting it.

Demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between geometric representation in a coordinate plane and. When two lines intersect to form right angles then such lines are known as perpendicular to each other. Thus it implies that if you have two lines which are perpendicular to each other, then these lines will be at right angles and vice versa. These types of lines are used often in geometry, so it is important to know how to construct them.
