Construct a Perpendicular Bisector

In this sketch students will be shown the steps to create a perpendicular bisector. The idea is that they will do the steps digitally here and then repeat them physically with a ruler and a compass. Note that within Desmos there are already tools to create a perpendicular and a midpoint. The purpose here is to not use those tools but to instead use only the tools that would be available physically (ie a ruler and compass). There are also specific instructions on each slide for the steps when using a ruler and a compass.
