The Chart on Slide 2 is still selected.
The Chart Tools are available.

Go to Chart Tools->Layout->Labels.
Go to Axis->Axis->Primary Vertical Axis.

 

What Do You See? You can change the scale on the Vertical Axis from Hundreds to Thousands, Millions or Billions. There is also an option to show the numbers on a Log 10 base scale.
