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?
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?
============
-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.
