For this shape there are four points. The plotted ordered pairs are:
M = (3, 9)
N = (6, 0)
O = (3, 6)
P = (-3, 0)

All you have to do is multiply the BOTH x- and y-values by 1/3 on EACH ordered pair. And if it’s easier, you can divide by 3 as well. It’s the same thing.

M = (3, 9) = (3*1/3, 9*1/3) = (1, 3)
N = (6, 0) = (6*1/3, 0*1/3) = (2, 0)
O = (3, 6) = (3*1/3, 6*1/3) = (1, 2)
P = (-3, 0) = (-3*1/3, 0*1/3) = (-1, 0)

(1, 3) , (2, 0) , (1, 2) , and (-1, 0) are your points.
