The video tutorial explains how to write the equation of an ellipse given its vertices and co-vertices. It starts by plotting the points on a graph to visualize the ellipse and determine the orientation of the major axis. The tutorial then calculates the center of the ellipse and the values of A and B, which are essential for writing the equation. Finally, the correct formula is applied to derive the equation of the ellipse.
