Answer:

One non rigid transformation would be a dilation

Explanation:

A rigid transformation of a graph leaves the size and shape of a graph unchanged. Rigid motions are a translation or a rotation for example. Non rigid motion is a dilation which increases the size of shape or a stretch which changes the shape.
