distance = rate * time.
the rate is 1 kilometer per 10 minutes.
the time is in minutes.
the equation becomes distance = 1/10 * number of minutes.
that's a linear equation because the highest exponent in the variables used is 1.
the variables used are distance, rate, and time.

.

The distance traveled by a uniformly moving body is always linear function of time.

This statement is valid INDEPENDENTLY of the values of the speed or the elapsed time.
