Neither, because a translation is only moving across one plane. Slide flip isn't even used in geometry. I'm not sure what that is. A rotation is moving across and axis from a specific point, which cannot be done in a translation.

What is the difference between simple support and pin-joint support?

We tend to use them to mean the same thing. In two dimensions, a simple support is one that allows rotation. A pin joint support is a simple support that allows rotation but not translation. A roller joint support is a simple support that allows rotation and translation.


What are transformations that result is an image that is the same shape and size as the original?

They are translation, reflection and rotation. An enlargement changes the size of the image.


Are rectangles congruent or perpendicular?

When you flip the polygon and slide the polygon what will it look like?

A polygon, with the same number of sides. The rest depends on whether or not it is regular and, if so, whether it has an odd or even number of sides.
