Summary
Rigid Transformations: these do not change the basic shape or size of the figure, that is, horizontal or vertical translations or reflections. Therefore, where c is any constant,
Vertical movement: f(x) + c f(x) - c 
Horizontal movement:

f(x + c) f(x - c)
Reflections: x axis y axis
- f(x) f(- x) 
Non rigid transformations will stretch or shrink the original figure. That is, a dilation, or geometric transformation. Therefore for the constant, c:
where c1 > 1 where 0 < c 2 < 1
c1 f(x) c2 f(x) 
where the transformed graph is shown as the broader line
