Answer:

(a) M = 0.25n +100

Explanation:

The distance between the dots on the graph is a rise of 1 grid square and a run of 2 grid squares. If we extend the sequence of dots to the left, we expect to place one at (0, 100). That is, the y-intercept of this function is 100 (eliminates choices C and D).

The rise of 1 grid square represents 25 kg, and the run of 2 grid squares represents 100 CDs. Then the slope of the function (rate of change) is ...

slope = rise/run = 25/100 kg/CD = 0.25

Then the equation describing the points on the graph will be ...

M = 0.25n +100
