Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate x - values

For 2015: (x = 2015 - 2010=5), (y = 255.161); for 2020: (x = 2020 - 2010 = 10), (y=266.024); for 2025: (x = 2025 - 2010=15), (y = 276.558); for 2030: (x = 2030 - 2010 = 20), (y=286.967); for 2035: (x = 2035 - 2010=25), (y = 297.259); for 2040: (x = 2040 - 2010 = 30), (y=306.634); for 2045: (x = 2045 - 2010=35), (y = 315.152); for 2050: (x = 2050 - 2010 = 40), (y=323.314); for 2055: (x = 2055 - 2010=45), (y = 331.770); for 2060: (x = 2060 - 2010 = 50), (y=340.868).

Step2: Analyze the trend

The population is increasing over time. As (x) (years after 2010) increases, (y) (population in millions) also increases.

Step3: Match the graph

The points should show an upward - sloping trend. Looking at the options, we need to find a graph where the points are plotted correctly according to the calculated (x) and (y) values and show an upward trend.

Answer:

We cannot determine the exact answer without seeing the actual graphs clearly, but the correct graph should have points plotted for ((5,255.161),(10,266.024),(15,276.558),(20,286.967),(25,297.259),(30,306.634),(35,315.152),(40,323.314),(45,331.770),(50,340.868)) and show an upward - sloping trend.
