Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

This video tutorial by JD R covers the concepts of parallel and perpendicular lines. It explains that parallel lines have the same gradient and never meet, while perpendicular lines intersect at 90 degrees with gradients that are negative reciprocals of each other. The video provides examples of finding equations for lines parallel and perpendicular to given lines, using specific points to determine the y-intercept.
