Any variable can be declared as the independent variable, then the other would be the dependent variable. However, it is quite common to arbitrarily define y as the dependent variable - a variable that depends on x.
I define an variable by saying x- an value
Take the expression y = f(x) where f is a function relating y in terms of x. x is the input - the independant variable. y is the output - the dependant variable because it's value depends on x.
State what the variable represents in the equation.
Declaration is a promise: 'I will define (or has defined) this variable/function somewhere else'.
