This video tutorial explains how to draw a distance-time graph for an object moving at a uniform speed. It begins with setting up the graph by marking the origin and axes, followed by drawing a slanting line to represent uniform motion. The tutorial also covers marking specific points on the graph to interpret the object's motion over time.
