The video tutorial introduces graphing in three dimensions, starting with the basics of the distance formula in two dimensions and extending it to three dimensions by adding a z-coordinate. It explains how to graph points in 3D space using x, y, and z axes, and provides a visual analogy of moving along the edges of a box. The tutorial also covers the distance formula in 3D, which is an extension of the Pythagorean theorem, and introduces the midpoint formula for three-dimensional points. The instructor plans to use computer tools to aid visualization and understanding.
