Question 1122011: Jose is standing next to a mailbox when all of a sudden he begins walking away from the mailbox at a constant speed of 6 feet per second.
a. How far is Jose from the mailbox 8 seconds after he started walking away from it?
b. Write a formula that expresses Jose's distance from the mailbox (in feet),
d in terms of the number of seconds t since he started walking away from it.
c. As Jose walks away from the mailbox, is his distance from the mailbox proportional to the time elapsed since he started walking away from the mailbox?
-No, Jose's distance from the mailbox (in feet) is always larger than the number of seconds elapsed since he started walking.
-Yes, Jose's distance from the mailbox is related to the time elapsed since he started walking.
-Yes, Jose's distance from the mailbox (in feet) is always the same number of times as large as the number of seconds since he started walking.
-No, Jose's distance from the mailbox (in feet) is not always the same constant number of times as large as the number of seconds since he started walking.

a. How far is Jose from the mailbox 8 seconds after he started walking away from it?
d = r*t
------------------
b. Write a formula that expresses Jose's distance from the mailbox (in feet),
d in terms of the number of seconds t since he started walking away from it.
d = 6t
------------
c. As Jose walks away from the mailbox, is his distance from the mailbox proportional to the time elapsed since he started walking away from the mailbox?
============
