1. **Problem Statement:**
We have a figure P with points A(2,4), B(4,4), C(6,4), and D(1,2). The figure undergoes a transformation to image Q with points A'(4,2), B'(4,4), C'(4,16), and D'(2,7).
2. **Describe the transformation:**
The transformation maps each point $(x,y)$ of P to $(y,x)$ in Q.
3. **Formula for reflection about the line $y=x$:**
$$ (x,y) \to (y,x) $$
This means the x- and y-coordinates are swapped.
4. **Check points:**
- $A(2,4) \to A'(4,2)$ correct.
- $B(4,4) \to B'(4,4)$ correct (point on the line $y=x$ remains the same).
- $C(6,4) \to C'(4,6)$ but given $C'(4,16)$ seems inconsistent; assuming typo, correct reflection is $(4,6)$.
- $D(1,2) \to D'(2,1)$ but given $D'(2,7)$ inconsistent; assuming typo, correct reflection is $(2,1)$.
5. **Conclusion:**
The transformation is a reflection about the line $y=x$.
6. **Graphing instructions:**
- Draw the line $y=x$.
- Plot points A, B, C, D.
- Reflect each point about $y=x$ to get A', B', C', D'.
- Connect points to form triangles P and Q.
Final answer: The transformation is a reflection about the line $y=x$ which swaps the coordinates of each point.
