You can tell which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable by changing the equation into an "if/then" statement.

Example: y = 3x

In this example, x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable. If you give me x, I will tell you y.

If x = 1, then y = 3

If x = 2, then y = 6

So you give me the independent variable, and then I will be able to determine the dependent variable.
