So what we have to do is to make a scatterplot basically, I don't want to do the whole thing by myself but I will guide you through this. So it says that the population values are in the thousands. And the Years start from 1950. We also know that this is linear.
You want years to be x and population to be y. Note that the population values are in the thousands too. So you would probably label the x-axis something like number of years after 1950. And the y-axis something like population number in thousands. After you have finished the first 2 steps. You want to plot the points correctly and I am pretty sure that there is a line of best fit tool. And that is what you want to use. So once everything is clear and accurate, you just have to estimate the population at a given time. So your line of best fit will be what you use to estimate the population at any given time t, where t(0) = 1950. So whatever equation you get, you want to plug the numbers in according to that. So for example if y=10x+511 is the equation for your line of best fit. Then to find the population for 1940 you have to plug in -10 for x not 1940 because 0 is 1950 and 1940 is 10 years less than that. You can also do it another way too.
