Understanding Slope and Line Relationships

This video tutorial explains how to determine if two lines intersect by examining their slopes. It covers the concepts of intersecting and non-intersecting lines, including perpendicular and parallel lines. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the slope of a line using the rise over run method and the formula for slope using two points. It concludes by showing how to use slope calculations to determine if two lines intersect, emphasizing that lines with different slopes intersect.
