The population of a city in 2005 was 18,000. By 2010, the city’s population had grown to 32,800. If the population growth follows a linear model, what is the projected population for 2015?

Well,

the rate is (32,800 - 18,000) = 14,800 per 5 years
therefore :
in 2015 = 2010 + 5 years
the pop. will be :
32,800 + 14,800 = 47,600

hope it' ll help !!
