Remember that linear growth or linear relationship is characterized by having a constant ratio of change, that is, it's growth is given by a constant number summed.

Observe that population size increses by 5,000, and it has a constant of variation, that is, the change is always the same. This chracteristic is a linear relationship, where it constant ratio of change is 5,000 per generation.

Therefore, the population showed in the table is demonstrating a linear population growth.
