The video tutorial covers graphing linear functions using x and y intercepts. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by several examples demonstrating how to find intercepts by plugging in zero for the opposite variable. The instructor addresses common mistakes and provides practice problems, encouraging students to try solving them independently. The video concludes with a summary and encouragement to review the material.
