The video tutorial explains how to graph two lines with specific constraints and identify if the graph is continuous. The first line, y = 2x - 1, is graphed for x values less than 0, while the second line, y = -x + 3, is graphed for x values greater than or equal to 0. The tutorial highlights the concept of jump discontinuity at x = 0, where the two lines meet. The teacher emphasizes understanding the constraints and the nature of discontinuity without relying on calculators.
