I do it by using an "if/then" statement. The variable behind the "if" statement is the independent variable. The variable behind the "then" statement is the dependent variable.

Example: y = 3x3 + 4x2 - 6x +1

So if you tried "if y = 2", you're still stuck on your "then" statement. You don't really know what x is, do you?

But if you try "if x = 1", then you can determine right away that y = 2.

So x is your independent variable and y is your dependent variable.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
