The video tutorial explains how to graph equations with zero or undefined slopes. It covers the characteristics of horizontal lines, which have a slope of zero, and vertical lines, which have an undefined slope. The tutorial provides examples of graphing equations like x = 4, resulting in a vertical line, and y = -3, resulting in a horizontal line. It emphasizes that equations of the form x = a number are vertical lines, while y = a number are horizontal lines.
