Answer: (0, -2)

=====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function y = |x| has its vertex at the origin (0,0). This is the lowest point on the V shaped graph.

The -2 at the end will shift every point 2 units down. This is because we're subtracting 2 from the y coordinate of each point.

So the vertex (0,0) moves down to (0, -2)

The graph is below.
