which diagram below shows the first step in parallel line construction on a point outside of a line

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I cannot see the diagram options you have mentioned. However, the first step in constructing a parallel line on a point outside a given line is as follows:

1. Start by drawing the given line and label it as line "AB".
2. Choose a point outside the line, which we'll call point "P".
3. Using a compass, place the needle at point "P" and draw an arc that intersects line "AB" at two points. Label these points of intersection as "C" and "D".

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
