The contrapositive of P→QP\to Q is ¬Q→¬P\neg Q\to\neg P (negate both and swap order); here P=p∨qP=p\vee q and Q=rQ=r.

Step 1. Identify P,QP,Q. P=p∨qP=p\vee q, Q=rQ=r.

Step 2. Negate QQ. ¬Q=¬r\neg Q=\neg r.

Step 3. Negate PP using De Morgan's Law. ¬P=¬(p∨q)≡¬p∧¬q\neg P=\neg(p\vee q)\equiv\neg p\wedge\neg q. …
