The video tutorial explains how to solve and graph linear inequalities, similar to linear equations. It covers the slope-intercept method, identifying slope and y-intercept, plotting points, and determining the type of line (solid or dashed) based on the inequality. The tutorial also discusses using test points to decide which side of the line to shade, ensuring the inequality holds true.
