The steps to use a compass and straightedge to construct a parallel line to a given line, l, that passes through a point not on that line, p, are given below. arrange them in the correct order. use a straightedge to draw a line through points p and q. mark the point of intersection between the two arcs as point q. use a straightedge to draw line m that intersects line l and point p. adjust the compass so it is equal to the distance between the intersection points of the first arc and lines l and m. draw the point of intersection between line l and line m. without changing the compass width, construct an arc from point z that intersects the previously constructed arc. without changing the compass width, construct a second arc from point p that intersects line m at point z. using a compass, swing an arc that intersects lines l and m from the point of intersection.
