Looks like the horizontal dropouts on an old track bike. I can’t see the head of an exposed bolt, so presumably if you remove the axle, it exposes some way of turning the threaded bolt that’s visible just in front of the axle?
Be careful about alignment. And if you make a significant change, should you worry about chain length?

My guess is remove the rear wheel, and you’ll expose an Allen head on those bolts. Turn them counterclockwise the same number of turns each side.
In the future, telling us the make and model of the bike would help.

From the looks of things, there isn’t much you could slide the axle further back without compromising surface for the quick-release to clamp against.

damn isnt this fixed gear frame?
