Given:

A transformation was performed on PQRS to form P'QʻR'S'.

To find:

The transformation.

Solution:

The given graph shows two similar polygons. It means, dilation was performed.

From the given graph it is clear that,

PS=2 units

P'S'=1 units

Now,

$\text{Scale factor}=(P'S')/(PS)$

$\text{Scale factor}=(1)/(2)$

A dilation factor of
(1)/(2) was performed on PQRS to form P'QʻR'S'.

Therefore, the correct option is (3).
