Represent transformations as functions on points and compare distance/angle-preserving transformations with non-rigid transformations.

Classify a transformation as rigid or non-rigid

Problem

Classify translation \(T(x,y)=(x+4,y-1)\) as rigid or non-rigid.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

Rigidity is decided by pairwise distances, not by whether the figure visibly moves or changes position. We’ll track a generic displacement vector through the coordinate rule, extract the segment-length scale factor, and then connect that invariant to angle preservation and congruence between the image and preimage.
