Answer

See the explanation below.

Work Step by Step

When $F$ is differentiable, then $\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x},\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y}$ can be calculated as: $\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x}=-\dfrac{\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial x}}{\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial z}}$ and $\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y}=-\dfrac{\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial y}}{\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial z}}$
