The video tutorial explains how to find X and Y intercepts from an equation without graphing. It begins with a review of intercepts, describing the X intercept as the point where the graph crosses the X-axis (Y=0) and the Y intercept as the point where the graph crosses the Y-axis (X=0). The tutorial then provides step-by-step instructions for calculating the X intercept by setting Y to zero and solving for X, and for finding the Y intercept by setting X to zero and solving for Y. Finally, it demonstrates how to use these intercepts to graph the equation.
