An independent variable is something that isn't dependent on anything else. Whose laying the eggs? The hens right? So the number of eggs laid is dependent on the number of hens laying them. Basically the hens are the independent variable because the number of eggs is relying on the number of hens laying them.
First of all get a picture of what this looks like. Desmos is a pretty good graphing program, but anything that will do polar coordinates will work.
Here is the graph.
What you can see is that this graph is symmetrical around the x axis.
When you talk about symmetry, you can think of it as taking a mirror and putting it where you think there is symmetry. If you can't tell the difference between the image and the real thing, then you have symmetry.
In this case, the mirror will show symmetry along the x axis and no where else.
