Answer:

[tex]y = 9 - 1.75x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Initial\ Height = 9ft[/tex]

[tex]Rate = 1.75ft[/tex] per hour

Required:

Determine the linear function

Let y represent the function and x represent the number of hours

The function can be represented with:

[tex]y = Initial\ Height- Rate * x[/tex]

We used minus (-) in the equation because the question indicates that the height of the sculpture reduces.

So, we have:

[tex]y = 9 - 1.75 * x[/tex]

[tex]y = 9 - 1.75x[/tex]
