Relations : Reflexive, Symmetric and/or Transitive

Determine if the relation R on the set of all people is reflexive, symmetric and/or transitive where (x,y) "E" R if and only if x and y live within one mile of each other.

NOTE:  I cannot correctly indicate the symbol to show "is a member of" so I have used "E" in it's place.
