Question
Draw any line segment $\overline{P Q}$. Take any point $R$ not on it. Through $R$ draw a perpendicular to $\overline{P Q}$.

Answer
$1.$Let $\overline{P Q}$ be the given line segment and $R$ be a point not on it.
$2.$Place a set-square on $\overline{P Q}$ such that one arm of the right angle aligns along $\overline{P Q}$.
$3.$Place a ruler along the edge opposite of the right angle.
$4.$Hold the ruler fixed. Slide the set-square along the ruler all the point $R$ touches the arm of the set-square.
$5.$Join $RS$ along the edge through $R,$ meeting $\overline{P Q}$ at $S.$ Now $\overline{\mathrm{RS}} \perp \overline{P Q}$.
