TO FIND THE DIVIDING-POINTS OF A GIVEN INCLINED LINE.

[Illustration: Fig. 46.]

Let _P_, Fig. 46., be the vanishing-point of the inclined line, and

_V_ the vanishing-point of the relative horizontal.

Find the dividing-points of the relative horizontal, _D_ and _D′_.

Through _P_ draw the horizontal line _XY_.

With center _P_ and distance _DP_ describe the two arcs _DX_ and

_D′Y_, cutting the line _XY_ in _X_ and _Y_.
