you have to decide what the meaning of the equation will be. this might sound wrong to some people, but guess what? i thought the exact same thing, and my boyfriend helped me with this, and I got the question correct, and overall my reflection was an A! Pretty good huh?
just write it, TRUST ME!

It represents the value of the y variable when the x variable is zero.
y=mx+b is the equation for a linear relationship. y= the dependant variable m= the slope of the line x= the independent variable b= the y-intercept
It could represent an unknown variable in an expression or an equation.
The independent variable is the variable that you change and manipulate in an equation. This causes the dependant variable to change.
Use variables to represent two quantities in a real-world problem that change in relationship to one another; write an equation to express one quantity, thought of as the dependent variable, in terms of the other quantity, thought of as the independent variable. Analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using graphs and tables, and relate these to the equation.

In a mathematial equation the letters wither represent a variable or a constant.
