The video tutorial explains how to graph a linear inequality with fractions. It begins by addressing the common fear of fractions and demonstrates how to find the least common denominator (LCD) to eliminate them. The instructor then rewrites the inequality in slope-intercept form and explains how to graph it by identifying the slope and y-intercept. The tutorial concludes with testing points to determine the solution area of the inequality.
