The reciprocal of 2 5/8 is <span>0.38095238095</span>
The slope is 0.5 tablespoon per minute, which you can deduct from the increase of y from one minute to the next.
The initial value (at x=0) is 1. So the equation is:
y = 0.5x + 1. That's the last one in the list, answer D.
You can determine this by doing b² - 4ac (using the values in the quadratic function) and see if it is greater than zero, less than, or equal to. If it is greater, then it has 2 x-intercepts or zeroes. If it equals zero, then you have one x-intercept. If it equals less than zero, you have no x-intercepts.
