  1. A 6,2
  2. B \(-3,-1\)
  3. C 9,3
  4. D 3,1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 6,2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( Z = px + qy \) \( 8 = p(2) + q(-2) \) \( 8 = 2p - 2q \) \( p = 3q \) \( 8 = 2(3q) - 2q \) \( 8 = 6q - 2q \) \( 8 = 4q \) \( q = \frac{8}{4} = 2 \) \( p = 3(2) = 6 \)
