Answer:

storms is x and milk price is y

Explanation:

To know which is which, you just have to figure out which one is the independent variable because that is always x.

In this case, the number of storms is affecting the price of milk which means that the independent variable is the storms and the dependent variable is the milk price (there's no way the price of milk can affect the predicted number of storms, right? But storms can raise milk prices bc the weather can mess with supply chains.)
