Triangle PQR is transformed to triangle P'Q'R'. Triangle PQR has vertices P(4, 0), Q(0, −4), and R(−8, −4). Triangle P'Q'R' has vertices P'(1, 0), Q'(0, −1), and R'(−2, −1).
Plot triangles PQR and P'Q'R' on your own coordinate grid.

Step-by-step explanation:
P' = 1/3 P
reflection in the y-axis just changes the sign of all the x-values.
Since P" ≅ P', and P' is smaller than P, P" cannot be ≅ to P
It is, however, similar to P.

Thank you both Writeacher and Steve for your help. I tried my best on this question )because I waited for help nobody helped) so this is the answer my teacher graded.
CORRECT ANSWER: Triangle P' Q' R' is half the size of the original triangle. The scale factor is probably 1/3.
Part B: P'(1, −2), Q'(0, 3), and R'(−1, 0).
Part C: No, the triangles are not congruent. If the second triangle didn't have a dilation, and instead have a reflection of the first triangle, then it would be congruent
