Question

How many lines can be drawn which are perpendicular to a given line and pass through a given point lying on it?

Answer 1

Hint: Here we will consider the definition of perpendicular line and by graphical representation we will find the number of lines.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We can draw only one perpendicular line from any point on the line. Therefore, only one perpendicular line can be drawn from a given point lying on it.

Note: If we have to draw a perpendicular line from a given point on a line. Since the line is perpendicular then we can draw only perpendicular on the line at a particular point.
