A parent absolute value function f(x) = |x| is plotted as
We can change the appearance of this absolute value function based on what we add to the absolute value function and the constant accompanied by it.
Let's start with shifting the plot from |x| to |x+1|. If we add +1 to x inside an absolute value function, the parent absolute value function will shift one unit to the left. This shifting is represented by the red dotted plot on the figure below.
We now multiply a constant -3 on the absolute value function |x+1|. Multiplying a negative number to the absolute value function results in mirroring the absolute value function via the x-axis. Then, the plot will be compressed by a factor of 1/3. We now have
Hence, the final plot for the given absolute value function y = -3|x+1| is
