The video tutorial explains the concept of the axis of symmetry in quadratic equations, focusing on parabolas. It describes how the axis of symmetry is a line that divides the parabola into two symmetrical halves. The tutorial provides a formula to find the axis of symmetry without graphing, which is the opposite of B divided by 2A. It also includes a non-example to illustrate what does not constitute symmetry.
