The graph of the second function is moved 15 units down along the y-axis in relation to the graph of the first function.

Answer:

The translation of the function f(x) to obtain the function g(x) is
15 units down

Explanation:

Let


f(x)=\left|x\right|

The vertex of the function f(x) is the point
(0,0)

Let


g(x)=\left|x\right|-15

The vertex of the function g(x) is the point
(0,-15)

The rule of the translation of f(x) to g(x) is equal to


(x,y)------> (x,y-15)

That means------> The translation is
15 units down

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
