The video tutorial explains how to graph the equation x equals zero. It starts by introducing the concept that x is always zero, regardless of the y value. The tutorial then demonstrates plotting points on the graph where x equals zero, such as (0,0), (0,3), and (0,-3). A vertical line is drawn through these points to represent the equation x equals zero. The video also compares this with other equations like x equals seven or negative seven, which would also result in vertical lines at those x values. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the graphing process.
