Slope and Equations of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

This video tutorial covers the concepts of slopes and equations of parallel and perpendicular lines. It explains how to find slopes of parallel lines, emphasizing that they are equal, and discusses the properties of perpendicular lines, highlighting that their slopes are negative reciprocals. The video also covers the slopes and equations of vertical and horizontal lines using the 'hoy vox' mnemonic. Finally, it demonstrates how to write equations of lines in slope-intercept and point-slope forms, providing examples and exercises for practice.
