The video tutorial explains how to graph linear equations using the point-slope form. It begins by identifying the slope and a point from the equation, then demonstrates how to plot these on a coordinate plane. Two examples are provided to illustrate the process, showing how to determine the slope and points, plot them, and draw the line. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of reversing signs when identifying points and using the slope to find additional points.
