Look to the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the steps of constructing a perpendicular from a point

 off a line

1. Place your compass pin on the given point which is above the line

  and draw an arc of any size that intersects the line at two points

2. Place the compass pin on one of the two points where the arc

   intersected the line and make a small arc below the line

3. Without changing the span on the compass, place the compass pin

   on the other point where the first arc intersected the line and make

   another small arc below the line, the two small arcs should be

   intersecting below the line

4. Using a straightedge, connect the intersection of the two small arcs

   to The given point above the line

* Now lets solve the problem

- According to the partial construction which is not shown and

 according to the steps above you can find the next steps

- If P is the given point to draw the perpendicular from it, then

 the next step is

* With compass at P, draw an arc that intersects a in two places

- If P is one point of the intersection between the arc and the line

 then the next step is

* With compass at P, draw an arc below a

# The attached figure will help you

A perpendicular to a line is a line which intersects another at ninety degrees angle

The correct option for the next step in the construction is the option;

With compass at P, draw an arc that intersects the given line in two places

The reason the above selection is correct is as follows:

The steps required to construct the perpendicular through a point on the line are;

Mark the point P, on the line

Open the compass to an acceptable width and draw arcs on both sides of the point P, intersecting the line

Label the point of intersection of the arc and the line above as points D and F

From points D and F draw arcs that intersect each other on both sides of the line. Label the intersection point as G, and H

Join the points of intersection of the arcs, G and H, to complete the construction of the perpendicular to the line through P

Therefore, the correct option for the next step in constructing a line perpendicular to a line is; with the compass at P, draw an arc that intersects the line in two places

answer: b.

step-by-step explanation:

the y coordinate for point b is 0, and answer b is the only one with that y coordinate.
