text: In this context (that is, where you get to plug a value into one letter, and then can find the value for another letter), the variable whose value you pick (in this case, the r) is called the "independent" variable, because you, independently of others, got to pick the value; and the variable for which you can then find the value (in this case, the C) is called the "dependent" variable, because its value was entirely dependent upon what you picked for the value of r.
