The way supply and demand is usually taught would suggest that price is the independent variable
"consumers and producers take prices as given and choose how much to consume/produce"
having price on X also highlights that our supply and demand model doesn't say much about the mechanism of how the equilibrium price is reached. All our model says that at a certain price the two forces are balanced
Right, we really don’t have an independent variable on that graph.
Preferences, endowments, and technology are the independent variables.
