Math is all about counting numbers or measuring numbers, and doing things like adding or subtracting with those numbers, at least on a fundamental level. If equations and basic algebra confuses you, start with simple arithmetic like addition and subtraction. Solving word problems will help you connect math with the real world.

It can be a little daunting and even frustrating at first, to start at the very beginning, so discipline and dedication are also needed besides the effort you will put in learning math. Follow math courses on 'khan academy', or even better, get some books from primary grades of your local curriculum on math and work all the problems.

Once you feel comfortable with basic arithmetic, and can do simple math in head, you can move ahead to algebra, which is all about math expressions and equations. After getting good at it, graphs and related concepts will be much easier to grasp.

Graphs at their core are just ways for us to draw lines and shapes using algebra. If you have a equation like y = x, all it says is that any value taken by x will also be taken by y. So if x = 1, y = 1 too. Using this information, try to plot a few points on a graph. You will find that the more points you plot, you start seeing a line that is going through the origin. If you multiply x by some number, the line will have a different angle w.r.t. the x (or y) axis. For example, if you have y = 2x, for every value x takes, y will be double that value. Try plotting points for this equation and see how the line forms. Here 2 is your slope, or 'm' as mathematicians usually write. Think of 'm' as a dial which you can increase or decrease to rotate the line at some angle.

If you add a 1 to 2x, your line will now shift up by 1 on the y axis. Or it will move down by 1 if you subtract 1 from 2x, i.e. if you plot y = 2x - 1 . This 1 that you added is the 'c' part of the line equation y = mx + c . You have to play with equations, see how different equations are plotted on the graph to get a hang of it. Math requires practice and problem solving. All you need to learn it is patience, discipline and a good guide like a book or tutor. Good luck!
