We have an acceleration vs force graph with an equation of y = 0.4894x + 0.0258. Using the slope of the graph, what would be the mass of the system?

shows an object's acceleration-versus-force graph. What is the object's mass? (GRAPH CANNOT COPY)
A single force with $x$ -component $F_{x}$ acts on a 2.0 kg object as it moves along the $x$ -axis. A graph of $F_{x}$ versus $t$ is shown in Figure P5,32. Draw an acceleration graph ( $a_{x}$ versus $t$ ) for this object.
