Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider all options:

A. Transformation with the rule

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow (x,-y)[/tex]

is a reflection across the x-axis.

Reflection across the x-axis preserves the congruence.

B. Transformation with the rule

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow \left(\dfrac{7}{8}x,\dfrac{7}{8}y\right)[/tex]

is a dilation with a scale factor of [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] over the origin.

Dilation does not preserve the congruence as you get smaller figure.

C. Transformation with the rule

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow (x+6,y-4)[/tex]

is a translation 6 units to the right and 4 units down.

Translation 6 units to the right and 4 units down preserves the congruence.

D. Transformation with the rule

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow (y,-x)[/tex]

is a clockwise rotation by [tex]90^{\circ}[/tex] angle over the origin.

Clockwise rotation by [tex]90^{\circ}[/tex] angle over the origin preserves the congruence.
