Strain B started with a genetic mutation in patient zero that caused them to turn into a zombie. This strain differs from A in that all zombies can infect new people. Zombies infected with strain B can infect 1 person every minute.
Using the CDC Virus Information, determine which type of graph for STRAIN B and write an equation to show the number of zombies after each minute.

The type of graph for Strain B would be a linear graph.
The equation to show the number of zombies after each minute for Strain B would be:
Number of Zombies = Number of Zombies in the previous minute + 1
So, for example:
After 0 minutes: Number of Zombies = 1
After 1 minute: Number of Zombies = 1 + 1 = 2
After 2 minutes: Number of Zombies = 2 + 1 = 3
After 3 minutes: Number of Zombies = 3 + 1 = 4
And so on.
