The video tutorial explains how to determine the x and y intercepts of a line given its equation. It describes the process of setting y to zero to find the x intercept and setting x to zero to find the y intercept. The tutorial uses a special T-table to organize values and solve for intercepts, providing a step-by-step example. Finally, it shows how these intercepts can be used to graph the line, emphasizing the importance of understanding intercepts in graphing linear equations.
