The video tutorial explains how to find the x- and y-intercepts of the equation 2y + 1/3x = 12. It begins with a refresher on what intercepts are, then demonstrates how to calculate the x-intercept by setting y to 0 and solving for x, resulting in the point (36, 0). Similarly, it finds the y-intercept by setting x to 0 and solving for y, resulting in the point (0, 6). The tutorial concludes by plotting these points on a graph to visualize the intercepts.
