A necessary step to construct a parallel line to a given line through a point not on the line is:
With the pointed tip of your compass on a point on the given line, draw an arc that extends both above and below the given line.
This step helps to transfer the angle from the given line to the point not on the line, which is essential in creating a parallel line.
