The video tutorial explains how to analyze a hyperbola equation by finding its center, vertices, foci, and asymptotes. It begins with identifying the center using the H and K values, then moves on to determine the vertices by understanding the transverse axis. The tutorial also covers calculating the foci using the formula C^2 = a^2 + b^2 and approximating their positions without a calculator. Finally, it explains how to derive the equations for the asymptotes, emphasizing the importance of understanding the relationship between the variables and the hyperbola's orientation.
