The video tutorial explains how Lucas translated triangle ABC to form triangle A'B'C'. It describes the transformation as a translation, noting that the triangles are the same size, indicating no dilation. The tutorial details the translation rule, which involves shifting each point left by six units and down by five units. The rule is verified by checking the movement of specific points, ensuring the translation is accurately described.
