I don't see any diagram. So, I'll just wing it.

Value of q:
p, 6, 9 ⇒ there is a difference of 3. The sequence increases by 3. So, it can be assumed that the p is equal to 3. A(p,4) ⇒ A(3,4)

Value of q:
4, 1, q ⇒ there is a difference of 3. The sequence decreases by 3. So, it can be assumed that q is equal to -2. C(9,-2)

p q
A 3 4 ⇒ 3 + 4 = 7
B 6 1 ⇒ 6 + 1 = 7
C 9 -2 ⇒ 9 + (-2) = 7

Notice that the sequence has an equation of p + q = 7.
