The video tutorial by Teacher Go covers the concept of slope, explaining its definition as the change in Y over the change in X on a Cartesian plane. It introduces the slope formula, 'rise over run,' and discusses different types of slopes: positive, negative, zero, and undefined. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate slope from graphs, equations, and coordinates, providing examples for each method. The video concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.
