we are given
The water level in Ricky lake changes at an average of -7/48 inch for 1 year
It means that
In 1 year , the water level changes at 
and we have to find the water level change after 5 years
so, we can multiply both sides by 5
In 5*1 year , the water level changes at 
In 5 years , the water level changes at 
Hence,
the water level change after 5 years is
........Answer
No
There is not a common factor
If degree of variable is one then eq. is linear
so given is linear.
Functions and equations
We have that:

Let's name each side of it with f(x) and g(x):
Then, we have that:

Then, the answer is C
