Answer:

Quadrilateral WXYZ is translated 10 units to the left

Explanation:

Translation of Shapes in the Plane

The translation is a type of rigid transformation where all the coordinates of the vertices that form the shape are shifted by the same number of units both vertically and horizontally.

The quadrilateral WXYZ has coordinates:

W(2,-3) X(7,-3) Y(6,-7) Z(1,-7)

The quadrilateral W'X'Y'Z' has coordinates:

W'(-8,-3) X'(-3,-3) Y'(-4,-7) Z'(-9,-7)

It can be noted that all the x-coordinates of the vertices are shifted by 10 units to the left.

Answer:

Quadrilateral WXYZ is translated 10 units to the left.
