I'm not really sure what the x and y of the graph are supposed to represent. By guess is that the x axis is t (time) and y axis is x? Just by looking at the graph, is there any way to estimate what delta t might be? I feel like since it's easy to determine the discontinuities in the graph, delta t is probably quite large in this case?

You're right about the axes. I don't think there are any specific numerical values for the delta ts, it looks like this plot was just roughly drawn by hand to demonstrate the idea of error accumulation.
