What I’ve read online says that Vector art uses math to make the image scale better but isn’t ‘math’ used in Pixel art in, say, Photoshop as well? I’m having trouble wrapping my head around how the math might be different when creating a line in Photoshop vs Illustrator for example.

Vector graphics are mathematically based shapes/images created with points and paths and are not dependent on resolution. Pixel/raster/bitmap images are literally made up of individual pixels that are reliant on the resolution they were created in. Simply put, vector images can scale practically to any size without resolution distortion, but raster images will lose resolution or become pixelated when scaled above the original size they were created/designed.
