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.

The relationship Jayson experiences at the market is a direct one where the cost of salami is proportional to the weight he purchases. Since he bought 1.5 pounds for $3.75, the graph that correctly represents this relationship would be a line graph that starts at the origin (implying that 0 pounds would cost $0) and passes through the point (1.5, 3.75), indicating that at 1.5 pounds, the cost is $3.75.
The correct graph among the options provided 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 are marked at 1, 2, 3, and 4. A line starts at the origin and passes through plotted point (1.5, 3.75)."
This is the only option that plots the correct point representing the relationship between the weight of salami purchased (1.5 pounds) and the amount spent ($3.75).
