Answer:

C.) The number of people infected is increasing at a very fast rate.

Explanation:

Given the data:

Number of months (X):

0

1

2

3

4

5

Number of people infected (Y) :

1

5

13

33

78

180

y = 32.4x - 39.33

From the attached picture which shows the graphical relationship between months and number of people infected, we could see a positive relationship between the two variables and a slope value of 32.4 obtiamed from the plotted model shows that the rate of increase in the number of infected people is high
