Since there are an infinity of ways to estimate the limit, I suggest
sticking to the simplest one:

def guess_limit(points):
    x, y = max(points)
    return y

For this data set, my function will return 7.125.  Is it close enough?
Finding a better estimation is more a math problem than a Python one.
