Question
Identify which diagram represents a step in constructing a perpendicular line that is not a perpendicular bisector.(1 point)
Responses
A line segment has 2 end points. The left end point is A, and the right is B. A geometric compass is shown with the compass needle on point A and the pencil of the compass placed about two thirds of the way along line segment A B.

Two arcs are bisected by line segment A B. The arcs intersect at points C above the midpoint of A B and D below the midpoint of A B. A line is drawn from point C to D through the midpoint, M, of A B forming a right angle.

A solid line segment with two end points, X and Y, is shown. A dashed vertical line segment is also shown perpendicular to the segment X Y, intersecting it approximately one fourth of the distance between X and Y.

To construct a perpendicular line that is not a perpendicular bisector, you would place the compass needle on one end of a line segment and draw an arc that intersects the line at some point without necessarily going through the midpoint.
From the given descriptions, the diagram that represents a step in constructing a perpendicular line that is not a perpendicular bisector is:
**The last response: "A line segment has 2 end points labeled A and B. A compass has its needle on the right end point, B, and its pencil is placed about two thirds of the way along line segment."**
This step involves drawing an arc from one endpoint (point B), indicating that you could construct a perpendicular line at that endpoint rather than at the midpoint, which is characteristic of a perpendicular bisector.
