Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
- The railing will begin at 36 inches height.
- The slant decreases 9 inches for every 12 horizontal inches.
According to the problem, the slant is

The initial condition of the function is 36, which is a constant. Also, the slant is negative, because the problem states that "decreases".

Therefore, the linear function that models this problem is

So, the answer is the first choice.
