Safe to delete photos from iPhone after MacBook upload?

I just uploaded my photos from my iPhone to the photos app on my MacBook Air via a USB cable. I want to delete the photos from my iPhone but am afraid they will delete from my computer at the same time. How do I ensure this will not happen?

Check IF both devices are using iCloud to store photos. If Both are using iCloud, deleting from one will delete from both.
