Question
Use the images to answer the question.

Step 1: A horizontal line segment is drawn, with the endpoints labeled upper L and upper D, left to right. A pencil is shown above segment upper L upper D with its tip pointed towards the left of point upper D.
Step 2: A horizontal line segment upper L upper D is drawn left to right. A left-to-right slanted line intersects segment upper L upper D at point upper E. Point upper U is labeled on the line above and between upper L and upper D.
Step 3: Horizontal line segment upper L upper D is drawn left to right. A left-to-right slanted line intersects segment upper L upper D at point upper E and extends indefinitely in either direction.
Step 4: Horizontal line segment upper L upper D is drawn left to right. A left-to-right slanted line intersects segment upper L upper D at point upper E and extends indefinitely in either direction. Two arcs are drawn.
Determine the type of construction being done from the steps shown.

Answer 1

Based on the description of the steps provided, the construction being done involves drawing a line that meets a horizontal line segment at a point and extends indefinitely in both directions. The presence of arcs suggests that the construction is likely related to creating equal angles or bisecting angles.

Since the steps focus on a slanted line intersecting a horizontal line segment and potentially forming angles, the correct type of construction being described here is an **angle bisector**.

So, the correct response is:

**angle bisector**
