Here, we learned how to construct a line through a point PP perpendicular to a line ℓ\ell. Intuitively, we know that if P′P' is the reflection of a point PP across a line ℓ\ell, then PP′⊥ℓPP'\perp\ell, just by symmetry. Therefore, construct a line perpendicular to ℓ\ell through PP, and let that line intersect ℓ\ell at QQ. Note: QQ is called the "projection of PP onto ℓ\ell," or the "foot of the perpendicular from PP to ℓ\ell." Finally, draw a circle centered at QQ through PP with your compass, and this circle intersects line ℓ\ell again at P′P'.

Is it intuitive?

Type a concept, like “slope” or “photosynthesis”.
