    Answer:

    y = 9 - 1.75x

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    Initial\ Height = 9ft

    Rate = 1.75ft 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:

    y = Initial\ Height- Rate * x

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

    So, we have:

    y = 9 - 1.75 * x

    y = 9 - 1.75x
