Answer:

The graph is shown in the following image

Explanation:

The parent function of
f(x) = | x + 1 | +2 is
y = | x |

The graph of
y = | x | is the union of two lines:


y = x for
x\geq0


y = -x for
x <0

The vertex of this graph is in point (0,0)

The graphic is shown in the attached image.

Then, if we do
y = f(x + 1) to the parent function we get:


y = | x + 1 |

This transformation shifts the graph of
y = |x| 1 unit to the left

Then, if we make the transformation
y = f(x) + 2 to the function
y = | x + 1 | we obtain:


y = | x + 1 | +2

This transformation displaces the graph of the function
y = | x + 1 | 2 units up on the y axis.

So, if the vertex of the main function
y = | x | was at point (0,0), the vertex of the function
f(x) = |x + 1| +2 has its vertex in the point (-1, 2).

The graph is shown in the following image
