Need help figuring out the market characteristic lines/points and security market line. I've already got the first half (attaching for reference, I THINK I did it right) but having trouble doing the math for the second half (intercept, market beta, data points + the risk free rate, req. market return, market beta, investment req. & expected return, & difference for each of the investments. See screenshot attached below the first half of what I've completed. Please and thank you!!

Edit: I've posted what I've got so far which I'm not sure if it is correct, however, everything shows up on my end. I'm not sure what is not showing up. There really isn't any more information to post as this is all there is.
