The video tutorial covers the concept of slope-intercept form, represented as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. It explains how to identify these components in linear equations and demonstrates graphing them on a coordinate plane. The tutorial also includes transforming equations from standard form to slope-intercept form, providing step-by-step instructions for each example. The session concludes with practical graphing exercises using GeoGebra, reinforcing the understanding of plotting lines based on slope and y-intercept.
