Melvin has a line segment on his paper. He wants to construct a line segment bisector using the paper folding method. He has forgotten the steps to complete this construction. Help him by putting the following steps into the correct order. Option #1: Use a straight edge to draw a line through the point you have created. Option #2: Fold one endpoint of the line segment onto the other. Option #3: Unfold the paper and label the intersection of the fold and the line segment with a point.

To construct a line segment bisector using the paper folding method, Melvin should follow these steps in the correct order:

  1. Option #2: Fold one endpoint of the line segment onto the other.
  2. Option #3: Unfold the paper and label the intersection of the fold and the line segment with a point.
  3. Option #1: Use a straight edge to draw a line through the point you have created.

This order will effectively bisect the line segment.
