In the given translation, each point is reflected about y-axis.

Compare the coordinates from the figure:

$A=(0,7)$ and $A'=(0,7)$

$B=(-4,2)$ and $B'=(4,2)$

$C=(-2,-3)$ and $C'=(2,-3)$

$D=(0,-3)$ and $D'=(0,-3)$

When a point is reflected about y-axis, the sign of $x$ -coordinate changes and the $y$ coordinate remains the same.

Here, the $y$ -coordinates of the point and their images is same and the sign of the $x$ -coordinates changes.

Also, it can be seen that the distance of each point from $y$ -axis is same as the distance of its image from $y$ -axis.

So, in the given translation, each point is reflected about y-axis.
