Begin by graphing the absolute value function, f(x)= |x|. Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function g(x)= -|x+3|-4

Begin by graphing the absolute value function, f(x)= |x|. Then use transformations-example-1

Looking at the graph, of g(x).

There is a vertical shift because of the y-intercept "-4"

• Horizontal shift because of "+3".

• Reflection about the x-axis because of the "-|x+3|"
