During the years 1994 to 2007 seat belt use among front seat passengers ages 16 to 24 has increased. A linear model for the percentage of these passengers who use a seat belt is where P is percentage with a seat belt and t is years since 2000. The years before 2000 have a negative value for t. If you use the model to predict the percentage of these passengers who used a seat belt in 2006 which are you doing?
A) interpolation
B) extrapolation
