anonymous · Answer

you can draw a vertical line up or down from v

anonymous · Answer

I know, but the diagrams they give me involve the steps leading up to that (so arcs in certain places.)

oh sorry lol completely forgot, havent done this in a long time dont think i can help you =/

anonymous · Answer

Oh okay. Thank you for letting me know still. Would you mind helping me with another problem?

anonymous · Answer

sure

anonymous · Answer

Using compasses, draw a circle with center at V and radius equal to VT or VU, whichever is shorter.

@jayz657: Is the line through points P(-8, -10) and Q (-5, -12) perpendicular to the line through points R (9, -6) and S(17, -5)? Explain.

anonymous · Answer

Then use the intersections of UV and the circle to draw circles (or just arcs, or course) centered at those intersect points with radii of sufficient length to pass point V. The intersections of those circles will be your perpendicular.
