Due to a late summer drought, the change in water level (in feet) in the pond behind Eastview is falling

They found the y-intercept to be (0,26). They determined the x-intercept to be (52,0).
Thoroughly explain the meaning of the x-intercept. (Use a full sentence that includes the values of that
intercept.)
