need someone to explain independent and dependent variables

OpenStudy (mef4.0):

the dependent variable is called that because it changes depending on what the independent variable is. For example, for every x you substitute into your equation, you'll get a different y value. so x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable. does that make sense?

yeah thanks
