We are given ,
Px + qy = p – q    ....(1)
qx – py = p + q    ....(2)

Now, we can generate the matrix.

pqqpxy=pqp+q

let A=pqqp

So, xy=A1pqp+q

where A1=1|A|pqqp

& |A| = (p) (– p) – (q) (q) = – p2 – q2

So, xy=1p2q2pqqppqp+q

=1p2q2p2+pqpqq2pq+q2+p2+pq

x=p2q2p2q2=1&y=p2+q2p2+q2=1

here (x, y) = (1, – 1)
