Start with a line, L1. Draw a line perpendicular to it, L2. Next draw a line perpendicular to L2, but not the same as L1. This last line will be parallel to L1.

To construct a parallel line through a point not on the line using paper folding, you can perform the "folding to find the perpendicular" construction twice. First, fold the paper so that the point aligns with the line, creating a crease that indicates the perpendicular. Then, unfold and fold again using the newly created crease as a reference to establish a line parallel to the original through the given point. This method ensures that the resulting line is parallel to the original line.
it would be perpendicular to the line.
You can construct a parallel to a line through a point not on the line. (perpendicular line segment)
You construct a line perpendicular to the original and then a line perpendicular to this second line.

Draw a line. Draw a perpendicular to that line then a perpendicular from that one.
The difference between a perpendicular line and a parallel line is that a perpendicular line crosses or joins, while a parallel line doesn't touch at all.
