Answer: y is the dependent variable

Explanation:

In mathematics, a function is a rule for taking an input and providing an output.

A symbol that stands for an arbitrary input is called an independent variable.

A symbol that stands for an output that depends on the value of a independent variable is called a dependent variable.

y is the dependent variable because depends on the value of x.
