The video tutorial covers the basics of linear and nonlinear functions, explaining how to identify them using tables and graphs. It discusses the concept of constant rate of change, known as slope, and how it applies to linear functions. The tutorial also explores function formulas, focusing on the slope-intercept form, and highlights how to recognize nonlinear functions. Additionally, it compares simple and compound interest through graphing, providing a practical application of the concepts discussed.
