The video tutorial explains how to graph a linear equation using the slope-intercept form, which is expressed as Y = MX + B. It covers identifying the slope (M) and y-intercept (B), plotting the y-intercept on a coordinate axis, and using the slope to find additional points. The tutorial also addresses common confusions about negative slopes and demonstrates how to complete the graph to form a straight line.
