This video tutorial teaches how to write an equation of a line parallel to a given line and passing through a specific point. The instructor explains the concept of parallel slopes, sets up an example problem, and demonstrates how to use the slope-intercept form to find the equation. The process involves identifying the slope, substituting known values, and solving for the y-intercept to complete the equation.
