  (a)  M = 0.25n +100

Step-by-step 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

check the picture below.

well, the angle at the vertex d is clearly not a right-angle, let's check for the one at the vertex f which does look like,   however if it's indeed, that means ef is perpendicular to df, in which case their slopes will be negative reciprocal of each other.

so the negative reciprocal of the slope of ef is 1, however the slope of df is not 1, is 1/2, so nope, they're not perpendicular lines.
