Why does the predator population follow the prey population in the graph below?

The predator population follows the prey population because the predator population size depends on the prey population size.

Deer are affected by a terrible disease wiping out half of the population. What would likely happen to the population size of the grass, the deer's food source?

The grass population size would grow due to less predation from the deer.
