Constructions!<br />
Construct a perpendicular through a point not on the line:<br />
First, take your compass and make a big arc that hits the line segment twice. This will create<br />
two endpoints.<br />
From each endpoint, make an arc below the line (we already found a point above, so we don't<br />
need that one!).<br />
This will intersect at a point. Draw the line going from this point to the one we were given at<br />
first to get the perpendicular going through a point not on the line.
