Answer:

Check Explanation and picture.

Explanation:

This is an absolute value function!

You didn't provide a sign where the x does something to 1 which doesn't give clarity for any transformation to the right or left.

Assuming it's a negative: You shift 1 to the RIGHT

Assuming it's a positive: You shift 1 to the LEFT

However, -3 indicates shifting 3 down.

The negative is a reflection that makes the v point down.
(Starting from the transformation point) The 4 ensures you go down 4 and over 1.

You should also use desmos graphing calculator to make it easier to visualize the functions.
