The video tutorial teaches how to find the equation of a line of best fit using a word problem involving wenis lengths and heights. It starts by plotting data points to identify a linear relationship, then draws a line of best fit. The slope is calculated using two points, and the equation is written in point-slope form. Finally, the equation is used to estimate the height of a person with a given wenis length. The video concludes with a call to action for viewer engagement.
