According to the line of best fit and using: B) extrapolation, Sean can estimate that the balance of his loan will reach $0 in a month B) 69.

Line of best fit

Based on the information  extrapolation should be use since  x-coordinate will be higher than 12 (x, y) when y = $0.

Line of best fit equation:

y=-115.9x + 8,007.30.

Hence:

Let x represent the number of month

solving for x

0 = -115.9x + 8,007.30

115.9x = 8,007.30

x = 8,007.30/115.9

x = 69

Therefore according to the line of best fit and using: B) extrapolation, Sean can estimate that the balance of his loan will reach $0 in a month B) 69.
