Answer:

66,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If a relation is linear, then for equal changes in x there are equal changes in y. If in 1 year the population increases by 8,000, then in any 1-year period, the population will also increase 8,000. The population started at 50,000. In 1 year, it became 50,000 + 8,000 = 58,000. At the end of the second year, it will have increased by another 8,000. 58,000 + 8,000 = 66,000.
