A slope greater than 1 makes a graph be really steep. On the other hand, a slope less than 1 but greater than 0 makes a graph less steep. Therefore any fraction slope would give you a less steep graph.
An example could be y=(1/3)x.
That word "equals" in there makes it an equation.
its not the equation that matters it is how you map it out on the graph, the vertical and horizontal axis are interchangeable. For example if x is the vertical axis and y is the horizontal axis the graph would look different than if y was the vertical axis and x was the horizontal axis. The narrow and wide of a graph depend on the horizontal axis ( how quickly the numbers increase and or how far apart the markers are spaced) ...If the intervals are counted by 5 the graph would be wider than if the intervals were counted by 500.
That makes no sense, there is no y in the equation so y cannot equal anything.

its an equation that you can graph and when the points are connected, it makes a line. usually includes variables x and y.

In general, it is very difficult. Even if a graph looks like a straight line over the domain there is no guarantee that the underlying equation makes the equation non-linear as you move away from the visible domain. A typical example, from school physics, concerns Hooke's law. The extension of a length of wire under different strains follows a linear relationship. Until the strain reaches a critical level and then the relationship goes all haywire. Looking at the graph below that critical level, the equation would be a straightforward linear one. But that is true only as far as it goes.
