The video tutorial explains how to find the equation of a line given a graph. It introduces the formula y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. The tutorial provides two examples, demonstrating how to calculate the gradient using the change in y divided by the change in x, and how to identify the y-intercept. The video concludes with a summary of the process.
