The video tutorial explains how to find the center and radius of a circle using given information. It covers the concept of tangents, their properties, and how they relate to the Y-axis. The instructor discusses graphing errors and corrects them, leading to the derivation of the circle's equation. The final equation is presented as X + 3^2 + y - 5^2 = 9, demonstrating the process of squaring the radius.
