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 2 comma 3.75 right parenthesis.

To determine which graph properly represents the relationship between the amount of salami (in pounds) bought by Jayson (112 pounds) and the cost (in dollars) of the salami he purchased ($3.75), we need to evaluate the points provided.

The key information is that Jayson bought 112 pounds for $3.75.

In terms of graphical representation:

  • The x-axis represents the pounds of salami (amount).
  • The y-axis represents the dollars spent (cost).

Given that the quantities mentioned (112 pounds and $3.75) are not within the ranges of the axes presented in the options (0 to 4 for both axes), it appears the graphs may not be a direct match for the information provided. However, we can analyze the plotted points in relation to the overall framework:

  1. First graph: has a point at (2, 3.75), which represents buying 2 pounds for $3.75 — this is not correct since Jayson bought 112 pounds.

  2. Second graph: has a point at (1.5, 3), which is not relevant as it does not match the amount or cost.

  3. Third graph: displays a point at (3.75, 1.5), which also does not correspond with what Jayson bought.

  4. Fourth graph: has a point at (1.5, 3.75), which indicates buying 1.5 pounds for $3.75, which is also not correct.

None of the provided graphs matches the relationship of Jayson buying 112 pounds of salami for $3.75.

If you were to graph the relationship correctly, there should be a point indicating that for 112 pounds, Jayson would be spending $3.75, which is outside the provided ranges.

For correct identification, we would typically look for a direct correlation if they were based on a larger scale, but with the data given, there's no correct response within the options provided.
