The image does not contain your question.
When you keep a body of mass m on a frictionless incline,normal force N=mg acts perpendicular to in inclined surface.So it has a component of Nsina=mgsina along the horizontal direction.
Let M be mass of the incline and you give it a acceleration f.
Then 
Mf=mgsina
Or,f=mgsina/M
