Exploring Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

This video tutorial explores the relationship between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. It explains that parallel lines have the same slope, while perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes. The video provides examples to calculate slopes and determine if lines are parallel or perpendicular, using the slope formula and basic arithmetic operations.
