D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given


90 - 30 = 60
There are 10 spaces between 30 and 90

60/10 = 6

So, each space covers 6

Point m is 2 spaces to the left of 90
So, m = 90 - 6 - 6 = 78

We get:
Quantity A: 78
Quantity B: 76

Answer: A

I'm only concerned with the number of spaces, since each space represents the distance between two values on a number line.
We already know that there is a distance of 60 units between points 30 and 90.
From there we can conclude that, the distance between each shown point on the line is 6.
