Hi. This is a bit lengthy so I am attaching an image that shows it worked out step by step. I hope it helps.
Take care,

Count the total number of students who prefer fiction novels: In 9th grade there are 35, in 10th grade there are 52, so there are 87 students who prefer fictions. The proportion of 10th grade students out of these 87 students is 52/87=0.60 approximately.
14: 1 × 14
2 × 7
56: 1 × 56
2 × 28
4 × 14
7 × 8
63: 1 × 63
3 × 21
7 × 9
GCF(14, 56, 63) = 7
the point of intersection on the graph are (3,-2)
You could just use 3.14 or 22/7
