The video tutorial explains how to graph the sine function using the unit circle. It describes how the x and y coordinates on the unit circle represent cosine and sine values, respectively. The animation shows the sine function's behavior as the angle increases from 0 to 2π radians, highlighting the changes in sine values through one complete period. The tutorial emphasizes the periodic nature of the sine function, demonstrating how the graph repeats itself as the angle continues to rotate around the unit circle.
