If it's an actual card in a slot, it's usually the slot farthest to the left (if looking at your computer from the back) or closest to the power supply.
That's where dedicated slots like AGP and PCI-Express sit. But the first guy is correct, just look at the port where you monitor cable connects- if it's on a card, that's the one. If it's down on the motherboard, you have integrated video.
In the photo below, the dedicated AGP video slot is the brown one at the top. The white ones are regular old PCI slots which can accept sound cards, network cards, modems, etc. They can also accept older PCI video cards, for people that don't have a dedicated video slot.

It is the card your monitor is connected to. More than likely, it will have a blue end with 2 hand screws that has a cord running to your monitor. If it is in a PCI slot (one in several blank "bays" on the back of the machine), then that means that it is not integrated to the motherboard and you can change it out for a different one. If it is "clumped" together with several other ports (right next to mouse, keyboard, ethernet, and printer ports), that means that the graphics card is integrated to the motherboard and you cannot take it out and swap it for another one.

if you don't know, it's likely that you don't have one. maybe there is one "on board" on the motherboard. otherwise, you open it up and it's a removable card, that's like 3 x 5 inches or something like that
oh, the guy above me has the right idea
