False ....a parameter is something YOU can change, like asking magazines if they are interested in sports, or interested in photography, or something else. So the 12% is a statistic.
take your compass on a point on your line. then draw a circle. take the 2 points in which the circle hit the line and draw 2 circles larger than half the distance between he 2 points. take the point that they intersect and and connect it to the line and you point M and it is purpendicular. does that make sense?
