Answer:

y = -|x -3| +2

Explanation:

You want the values of the horizontal and vertical translation of the absolute value function.

Transformation

When a function g(x) undergoes a transformation that includes ...

  • vertical scaling by a factor of 'a'
  • horizontal translation 'h' units to the right
  • vertical translation 'k' units up

the transformed version of the function will look like ...

y = a·g(x -h) +k

Absolute value function

When g(x) = |x|, these transformations make it look like ...

y = a·|x -h| +k

Application

Your function has a = -1, which causes the graph to be reflected over the x-axis. In the attachment, the original function y=|x| is shown in green. The version y=-|x| is shown in red, reflected over the x-axis.

The version shown in blue matches your graph. It is the reflected function with its vertex moved from (0, 0) the (3, 2). That is, (h, k) = (3, 2).

These values go into the boxes in your answer form:

y = -|x -3| +2
