The dependent variable is the price because it depends on how many movies are rented. The independent variable would be the number of movies.

Answer:

B. price

Explanation:

The equation is linear and looks like this:

C(x) = 5.99x

where C(x) is the cost of x number of movies. The cost is the dependent variable, since it is dependent upon how many movies you rent at 5.99 each.
