Construct the line perpendicular to Modifying above NO with bar at point P.

A line segment is labeled with points N, P, and O from left to right.
A. A line segment N O is intersected by a perpendicular line at point P, between N and O, but slightly closer to O. Two compass lines intersect at P. The compass line on the left has N P as its radius and the compass line on the right has P O as its radius.
B. Points upper N, upper P, and upper O are plotted along with two overlapping compass points at point upper P.Point upper N lies on the left-most part of the horizontal line. Point upper P is at the center, where the horizontal and vertical lines intersect. Two pairs of crossed, curves lines indicate compass points and overlap at point upper P. One pair points vertically; the other points horizontally. Point upper O lies at the right-most part the horizontal line.
C. Points upper N, upper P, and upper O are plotted with compass marks and compass points surrounding point upper P.Point upper N lies at the left-most part of the horizontal line. Point upper P is in the center, where the vertical and horizontal lines intersect. To the left and right of point upper P are curved compass marks. Above and below point upper P, there are crossed, curved lines indicating compass points. Point upper O lies on the right-most part of the horizontal line.
D. Points upper N, upper P, and upper O are plotted along with two compass points.Point upper N lies on the left-most part of the horizontal line. Point upper P lies at the center where the horizontal and vertical lines intersect. Two crossed, curved lines meet at point upper P, indicating a compass point. Directly above point upper P lie two more curved, crossed lines. Point upper O lies at the right-most part of the horizontal line.

The correct answer is D.

To construct the line perpendicular to NO at point P, follow these steps:

1. Draw a line segment NO in the desired direction.
2. Use a compass to draw a circle around point N with NP as the radius.
3. Use another compass to draw a circle around point O with OP as the radius.
4. The two circles should intersect at two points. Label the point of intersection as P.
5. Draw two straight lines passing through point P, one joining point N and P, and the other joining point P and O.

Now, the line passing through point P and perpendicular to line segment NO has been constructed.

The correct answer is option D. Points N, P, and O are plotted along with two compass points. Point N lies on the left-most part of the horizontal line. Point P lies at the center where the horizontal and vertical lines intersect. Two crossed, curved lines meet at point P, indicating a compass point. Directly above point P lie two more curved, crossed lines. Point O lies at the right-most part of the horizontal line.
