To find the new coordinates of point X after translating rectangle WXYZ 4 units to the left, you simply subtract 4 from the x-coordinate of point X.

Assuming point X has coordinates (0, 2):

– New x-coordinate = 0 – 4 = -4

– The y-coordinate remains the same: 2

So, the new coordinates of point X’ would be (-4, 2). However, this coordinate does not match any of the provided options A, B, C, or D.

Could you please clarify what the initial coordinates of point X are?
