Kill the y axis grid lines and snapshot tool, load i to paint and use the grab tool with white set as background

If you're a CC subscriber you can copy it into Illustrator and it'll paste as a vector (assuming it's a proper chart and not a placed screen grab like ~60% of the authors I work with prefer 🙄), then you can do what you want with it. Not relevant in this case but text doesn't usually survive the transfer, so don't get your hopes up if you require a bit more detail in future attempts.

I'm very rusty here, but when you copy the chart to the clipboard, it should then paste as vector art to anything that understands vectors, so you can then delete the bits you don't need.
One issue is that Powerpoint/Excel don't support copying sub-elements of a chart, only the whole chart. There is/was a workaround, involving an interim copy and paste as picture, but I think there was some trick.
Actual curves are a problem though, we always redrew pie charts (I know).
Ilustrator used to include a really basic chart feature as well.

How do I export just the line in this exact position from powerpoint? I.e. transparent png/whatev with just a red line running through it.
I've tried changing the plot and chart area to no fill.
Double clicking the background just offers solid/gradient/picture/pattern. If I hit solid for example and assign a colour to it it's no good, dragging the transparency toggle to 100 just reverts it to the attached with white bg.
