The video tutorial explains the process of differentiating a linear function, f(x) = 5x + 1, using the limit definition of a derivative. It begins with defining the function and proceeds to apply the difference quotient. The tutorial simplifies the expression to find the derivative, which is a constant value of 5, indicating a constant gradient for the linear function. The video concludes by interpreting the result and discussing its implications for linear graphs.
