Determining Relationships Between Lines

The video tutorial explains how to determine the relationship between two lines using parametric equations. It covers testing for parallel, intersecting, and skew lines, and further explores how to check if intersecting lines are perpendicular. The process involves using coefficients, solving simultaneous equations, and calculating dot products to reach conclusions about the lines' relationships.
