The video tutorial explains how to calculate the slope of a line by considering the change in y-values over the change in x-values, known as rise over run. It further elaborates on the slope-intercept form of a line equation, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The tutorial guides viewers through finding the y-intercept from a graph and finalizes the equation of the line. The session concludes with a Q&A to clarify any doubts.
