Explanation:

Step1: Calculate rate of change between June and September

Rate of change formula: $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1 = 6$ (June), $y_1 = 59$; $x_2 = 9$ (September), $y_2 = 59$.
$\frac{59 - 59}{9 - 6}=\frac{0}{3}=0$

Step2: Calculate rate of change between July and August

$x_1 = 7$ (July), $y_1 = 52$; $x_2 = 8$ (August), $y_2 = 53$.
$\frac{53 - 52}{8 - 7}=\frac{1}{1}=1$

Answer:

between July and August
