Contrapositive Identification
1. The problem asks to find the contrapositive of the statement: "If P, then Q".
2. Recall that the contrapositive of a statement "If P, then Q" is always "If not Q, then not P".
3. We denote negation by the tilde symbol (~). Therefore, the contrapositive is "If ~Q, then ~P".
4. Verify the options:
- If Q, then P: This is the converse, not contrapositive.
- If ~P, then ~Q: This is the inverse, not contrapositive.
- If ~Q, then ~P: This matches the contrapositive.
- If ~Q, then P: This does not match the contrapositive.
5. Therefore, the correct answer is "If ~Q, then ~P".
