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 identify the correct graph for Jayson’s purchase of 1 1/2 pounds of salami for $3.75, we need to find the point that corresponds to the coordinates (1.5, 3.75). In a graph representing this relationship, the x-axis represents weight in pounds, and the y-axis represents the cost in dollars.

The correct graph will have a line that passes through the point (1.5, 3.75).

Among the options presented:

  1. (1.5, 3.75) - This is the correct point illustrating that Jayson bought 1 1/2 pounds of salami for $3.75.
  2. (1.5, 3) - Incorrect because the cost is not $3.
  3. (2, 3.75) - Incorrect because the weight is not 2 pounds.
  4. (3.75, 1.5) - Incorrect because the coordinates are reversed.

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

which answer? 1 2 3 or 4

The correct answer is 1: the option that states a line starts at the origin and passes through the plotted point (1.5, 3.75).
