Draw a straight line and with compass mark off two joined arcs above and below the line and then join the arcs together which will produce a perpendicular line.
You construct a line perpendicular to the original and then a line perpendicular to this second line.
Points: (5, -1) and (2, -5) Slope: 4/3 Perpendicular slope: -3/4
perpendicular line segment (apex)
~APEX~ A parallel line through a point not on the line
A perpendicular bisector.
There is no name for it except "A line perpendicular to a line segment and passing through its midpoint".
Perpendicular lines passing through a point are at right angles to each other.
Perpendicular to a line passing through the center of the Earth.

It does not have a specific name.
The slope of the perpendicular to the line passing through P1(3,6) and P2(5,1) is 2/5. Note: the slope of the original line is (change in y)/(change in x), yielding -5/2. The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal, 2/5
You can construct a parallel to a line through a point not on the line. (perpendicular line segment)
To find the perpendicular distance between two points, you can use the distance formula and the concept of perpendicular lines. First, calculate the distance between the two points using the distance formula. Then, find the slope of the line passing through the two points. The perpendicular distance is the length of the line segment that connects the two points and forms a right angle with the line passing through them.
