- Plot the given data points on the graph, with Year on the x-axis and Population in Millions on the y-axis.
- Connect the plotted points with a solid line to show the historical trend.
- Extend the line beyond 2025 to the year 2100 using a dashed line, estimating the population based on the existing trend (approximately 10,000 to 11,000 million).
- The projection is based on the observed exponential growth pattern of the human population over the past two centuries, assuming current trends in birth rates, death rates, and technological/medical advancements continue.
