First of all we know the Absolute Value Function that is:


\left | x \right |= \left \{ {{x \ \ \ \ x \geq 0} \atop {-x \ \ \ \ x\ \textless \ 0}} \right.

This is called the Parent Function of the Absolute Value Function.

From the equation:


y=\left | x+2 \right |-3

The term:


\left | x+2 \right |

means that the the Parent Function is shifted two units to the left.

On the other hand, the term:


-3

means that the function
\left | x+2 \right | is shifted three units downward. So the result is the graph shown below
