After some searching on this topic it seems this comes up: Is there a shortcut to draw a 45 or 90 degree angle from a drawn line on an angle?
Seems like there is only a paid option, looks like a subscription, called SubScribe v2...
Does Adobe illustrator have a built in perpendicular line tool to draw from an anchor point on a slanted line?
Hi
Go to Preferences > Smart Guides and check (tick) Construction Guides. Keep 90° & 45° from the dropdown, or choose something else, or type in your own angles. You have six boxes you can use, so if you want 17°, just type it in.
To draw anchor point to anchor point, make sure Snap to Point is enable in the View menu. Deselect first (or hide the bounding box).
