Answer:(1) The distance Soo Lin walks is a function of time = True

(2) The time it takes soo- in to walk a certain distance is a function of distance = False

Explanation:

Since the distance walked, e in miles= 3.17t

Where t is time

From the equation,

time t is an independent variable, it does not dependent on distance e

Also

distance e is a dependent variable that depend on time t

Therefore,

Distance e is a function of time t.

While time t is not a function of distance e.
