One step that is not involved in constructing a line parallel to the x-axis through a given point is determining the slope of the line to be constructed. A line parallel to the x-axis has a constant y-coordinate, so the only requirement is to maintain the same y-value as the given point while varying the x-coordinate. Thus, the construction simply involves drawing a horizontal line through the specified point.
The answer depends on the method used for constructing the second line. But since you have not bothered to provide that crucial bit of information, I cannot provide a more useful answer.
Yes, you can find a parallel line using the paper folding technique. By folding the paper so that a point on the original line aligns with a point directly across from it on the opposite side, you effectively create a crease that is parallel to the original line. This crease serves as the desired parallel line. This method is particularly useful for constructing parallel lines without the need for a ruler or compass.
Calculate the slope of the given line. Any line parallel to it will have the same slope.
One way is to draw a straight line from the constructed line to the given line. If the lines are parallel, than the acute angle at the given and constructed line will be the same as will be the obtuse angles at the given and constructed line.

The Playfair Axiom (or "Parallel Postulate")
Euclid's parallel postulate.

True. In Euclidean geometry, if there is a line and a point not on that line, there exists exactly one line that can be drawn through the point that is parallel to the given line. This is known as the Parallel Postulate, which states that for a given line and a point not on it, there is one and only one line parallel to the given line that passes through the point.
Another name for the Playfair Axiom is the Euclid's Parallel Postulate. It states that given a line and a point not on that line, there is exactly one line parallel to the given line passing through the given point.
Assume there are no lines through a given point that is parallel to a given line or assume that there are many lines through a given point that are parallel to a given line. There exist a line l and a point P not on l such that either there is no line m parallel to l through P or there are two distinct lines m and n parallel to l through P.
You construct a line perpendicular to the original and then a line perpendicular to this second line.
Playfair Axiom
[A Parallel line is a straight line, opposite to another, that do not intersect or meet.] Ie. Line 1 is Parallel to Line 2. ------------------------------------------------- <Line 1 ------------------------------------------------- <Line 2
