This video tutorial introduces the concepts of parallel and perpendicular lines, explaining their characteristics and how they appear on graphs. Parallel lines have the same gradient and never intersect, while perpendicular lines intersect at 90 degrees and have different gradients. The video also provides real-world examples of perpendicular lines, such as those found on a football pitch. Future videos will delve deeper into the concept of gradients.
