Data indicates the number of global malaria cases has risen sharply since the year 2000. The equation y = 5.5x +49 approximates the number of global malaria cases y (in millions), where x = 0 corresponds to the year 2000. Assume the model remains accurate, and find the first full year in which the number of global malaria cases per year achieves 140 million. What does the value 140 represent in the given equation? A. The y-intercept B. The variable y C. The slope D. The variable x The first full year in which the number of global malaria cases per year achieves 140 million is
