The first thing you need to know is that an absolute value graph looks like a 'v' shape.

Then you need to find the y intercept.
In this case the y-intercept would be at the point (0,5).

Since it is just a y = |x| graph with no coefficients in front of the x. On the right of point (0,5) the graph is increasing with a slope of 1 as in the picture. On the left of the point (0,5) it is a linear line which has a slope of -1. Your final graph should look like a v shape, and look like the graph I drew in the picture attached.
