To construct a perpendicular line that is not a bisector of a line segment, you typically start with the following steps:
1. **Identify the line segment**: Mark the endpoints of the segment.
2. **Choose a point**: Select a point either on the segment or outside of it where the perpendicular line will intersect.
3. **Construct the perpendicular line**: Use a compass and straightedge to find the point where the perpendicular line will intersect the given line segment.
The steps in the diagram for constructing such a perpendicular line would not involve marking the midpoint of the line segment because you are not bisecting it. It should include:
- A marked line segment with endpoints labeled.
- A point on the line segment or nearby, not necessarily the midpoint.
- The use of a compass to measure equal distances from the chosen point to create arcs above and below the line, leading to the construction of a perpendicular line through the chosen point.
Look for a diagram that demonstrates these elements without specifically bisecting the segment. If you can provide the specific diagrams you are referring to, I could further assist in identifying the correct one!
