Point to A

Click again.

Point to the coordinates in the Algebra view.

Let us draw points in the Graphics view.

Click on Point tool and then click on the Graphics view

Point A is drawn.

Click again to draw another point B.

Note that the corresponding coordinates of the points appear in the Algebra view.

Click on Line tool.

Point to the line tools.

Let us learn to draw a line.

Click on the triangle at the corner of Line tool.

Here you can see a list of Line tools to draw various types of lines.

Click on Line tool and click on points A and B Using Line tool, we will draw a line through points A and B.

Click on Perpendicular Line tool.

Click above line AB to draw point C >> click on line AB.

Point to line g

To do that, click on the Perpendicular Line tool.


Click above line AB to draw point C and then click on line AB.

Line g passing through C is perpendicular to line AB (f).

Point to line AB. Next let us draw a line parallel to line AB.
Click on Parallel Line tool.


Click below AB to draw point D >> click on line AB.


Point to line h parallel to AB.

Click on Parallel Line tool.

Click below AB to draw point D, then click on line AB.
