The video tutorial explains how to interpret distance-time graphs by matching scenarios with graphs. It covers three examples: a motorbike traveling at a steady speed, a car parked in a car park, and a runner who runs at a steady pace, turns around, and returns. Each scenario is analyzed to determine the correct graph representation, emphasizing the importance of understanding graph features like linearity and flat lines.
