We know that p is the statement x = 4 and that q is y = -2 . Then we have that the statement "If x = 4 then y = -2" can be written as "if p then q" . Then we can represent "If p then q" as p ---> .

Answer:

p → q

Explanation:

Given :Let p: x = 4 Let q: y = −2

To Find:Which represents "If x = 4, then y = −2”?

Solution :

1. p ∧ q represents “p and q”

2.p ∨ q represents “p or q (or both)

3.p → q represents “if p then q”

4. p ↔ q represents “p if and only if q"

So, we can see that p → q represents “if p then q" represents "If x = 4, then y = −2”

Thus Option C is correct p → q
