A line graph shows amount in pounds on the x-axis and cost in dollars on the y-axis. Both the x-axis and y-axis range from 0 to 4 in increments of 0.25, and are marked at 1, 2, 3 and 4. A line starts at the origin and passes through plotted point left parenthesis 1.5 comma 3 right parenthesis.

To determine which graph best represents the relationship between the amount of salami Jayson bought (112 pounds) and its cost ($3.75), we need to find the point on the graph where the x-axis (amount in pounds) corresponds to 112 and the y-axis (cost in dollars) corresponds to 3.75.

Given the provided choices, it seems that all the graphs share limited ranges on the axes (from 0 to 4), which means they might not adequately represent the large quantity of salami (112 pounds). However, since they are labeled with specific points, we should focus on finding the one that accurately represents the relationship.

The correct point (assuming 112 pounds corresponds to its portion represented in the graph) we need from the options given is:

  • (1.5, 3.75), which represents a cost of $3.75 at 1.5 pounds. This is not directly relevant because the actual point is far outside the 0 to 4 range.

None of the provided graphs accurately plot the relationship of 112 pounds for $3.75, as they all represent values within a limit that is well below the actual data.

If we base it purely on the closest representation of the cost, and since 3.75 is aligned with the y-axis correctly when the x-value is matched with some scale like 1.5 pounds, the correct answer would be:

A line graph shows amount in pounds on the x-axis and cost in dollars on the y-axis. Both the x-axis and y-axis range from 0 to 4 in increments of 0.25, and a line starts at the origin and passes through plotted point left parenthesis 1.5 comma 3.75 right parenthesis.

Keep in mind that this is only based on the closest comparison given the unrealistic range of the graphs for 112 pounds.
