The video tutorial explains the concepts of lines, rays, and line segments in geometry. It describes how lines extend infinitely in both directions, rays have one endpoint and extend infinitely in one direction, and line segments have two endpoints. The tutorial also covers how to label these geometric figures using points and discusses the importance of directionality in rays compared to lines and segments.
