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 3.75 right parenthesis.

To determine the correct graph that represents the relationship between the weight of salami (in pounds) and its cost (in dollars), we can analyze the information provided:

Jayson bought 1 1/2 pounds of salami for $3.75.

This translates to the point (1.5, 3.75) on a graph where the x-axis represents the amount in pounds and the y-axis represents the cost in dollars.

Reviewing the options given:

  1. (1.5, 3.75) - This option accurately represents the relationship.
  2. (3.75, 1.5) - This is incorrect as it reverses the axes.
  3. (2, 3.75) - This is incorrect as the weight is not 2 pounds.
  4. (1.5, 3) - This is incorrect as the cost is not $3.

Thus, the correct response is the graph that passes through the plotted point (1.5, 3.75).
