How to Construct a Parallel Line Through a Given Point?
Constructing parallel lines with a compass and straightedge uses the converse of the parallel lines theorem. Creating congruent corresponding angles (or congruent AIA or AEA) guarantees parallel lines.
Step 1: Draw a transversal through the given point to intersect the given line.
Step 2: Duplicate an angle created by the transversal and the given line.
