Determine the square root of 100.
100=10×10
Take the square root of the above value on both sides.
100 = 10 × 10
100 = 10
Thus, the square root of 100 is 10.

Keep in mind that if one line is vertical, all subsequent parallel lines are also vertical.
For any two points ( x 1 , y 1 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 ) on a line
the slope is defined as y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1
BUT if the line is vertical x 1 = x 2 for all points on the line
and therefore the definition of the slope would require dividing by zero (which is undefined).
