Best Answer

An independent variable is one which does not rely on another variable for its value.

For example, in the slope intercept form:

y = 2x + 3

The x is the independent variable and the y is the dependent variable. The x can be set to anything, therefore it is independent. The value of y is dependent on x for its value.
