The graph below depicts the range of a water stream as it flows horizontallly out from a uniform cylinder. Construct a good straight-line model for this data and use your model to determine the range of the flow at t = 48 sec. Determine also the time at which the range is 32 cm. The x axis is marked in units of 13 sec and the y axis in units of 17 cm, both starting at (0,0).

Interpret both the x and the y intercepts of this graph.
