In Step 1, I used my straightedge to draw my first line segment. Using the straightedge is key to making a perfect line, so no mistakes will result from a messy line.
In Step 2, I named my two points. It is important to name your points so you do not get confused.
In Step 3, I used my compass to measure the exact width of line AB. I did this because I know later I will need to to create the copy line.
In Step 4, I drew a ray. I know the ray doesn't have to be perfect yet so I eyeballed the length. I named the starting point C.
In Step 5, I placed the compass that had the measurements from the original line on the new ray. I did this because I need to find the new point for the new line segment.
In Step 6, I used the compass to draw an arc. I drew the arc to show where the new point should go on the ray.

I was taught that the order will make a letter C going counter-clockwise!
