You transformed the function as follows:


f(x)\mapsto f(x-6)

All trasformations of the fashion
f(x)\mapsto f(x+k) translate the function horizontally, k units right if k is positive, k units left if k is negative.

In your case, k=6, so you translated the original function y=|x| 6 units to the right.
