1. Open the PowerPoint presentation slide. Select the “Insert” tab from the top ribbon.
2. Click on the “Shapes” button.
3. Choose the first line shape from the list of “Line” shapes.
4. Draw the line on your PowerPoint slide by holding down the left mouse button and dragging the cursor.
5. Right-click on the line you drew and select “Format Shape” from the menu that appears.
6. In the “Format Shape” window, expand the “Line” tab.
7. Under “Dash type”, select “Dash” from the drop-down list.
8. The changes will be applied to your line. Close the “Format Shape” window, and you’re done!
