Based on the information the number of people that will there after 20 years is: d.) 2.97 million.

Using this formula

P(t) = Population ×(1+ rate)^t

Where:

Population=2 million

rate=2%

time=20 years

Let plug in the formula

P(t) = 2×(1+.02)^20

P(t) = 2×(1.02)^20

P(t) = 2×1.485947

P(t) = 2.97 million

Inconclusion the number of people that will there after 20 years is: d.) 2.97 million.

Sketch the graph of each line. 2x-5y=25

Well, you transform the standard form equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), since you can only graph it using this form.

First of all, the layout of the equation is $Ax+By=C$

So, in this case, A is 2, B is 5, and C is 25.

Now, to put it into slope intercept form, you either use the formula to change it and solve it:

$y= \frac{-A}{B}x+ \frac{C}{B} \\ y= \frac{-2}{-5}x+ \frac{25}{-5} \\ \\ y= \frac{2}{5}x-5$

Or you can just solve for y:

$2x-5y=25 \\ 2x-5y-2x=25-2x \\ -5y=-2x+25 \\ \frac{-5y}{-5}= \frac{-2x+25}{-5} \\ \\ y= \frac{2}{5}x-5$

In addition, I attached what the graph looks like.

Hope this helps!
