Answer:

There were 17 accidents per month when there were no drivers in the program

Explanation:

You can tell this by looking to the left-hand side and seeing the line begins at (0,17) meaning 0 drivers and 17 accidents. It’s basically showing the program causes fewer accidents than the starting point, which is 17!
