The video tutorial explains that acceleration is the slope of velocity, emphasizing that it remains constant along a linear velocity graph. It demonstrates how to calculate average acceleration using the change in velocity over time, providing a specific example calculation between two points. The tutorial concludes that the acceleration is consistent regardless of the position on the graph.
