Jayson went to the market. He bought 112 pounds of salami for $3.75. Identify the graph that shows this relationship.

Question

1. 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.
