The original function is

y = f(x)

The new function is

y = f(x - 4) + 1

This is a modulus function. It is a function that gives the absolute value of a number. Thus, We can write the original function as

y = IxI

Since the graph is pointing downwards, it means that it was reflected over the horizontal axis. Thus, the parent function is

y = - IxI

Recall, if a function, f(x) is shifted c units to the right, the new function would be f(x - c). Thus, y = Ix - 4I means that the function was shifted 4 units to the right.

Also, if a function, f(x) is shifted d units upwards, the new function would be f(x) + d. Thus,

y = Ix - 4I + 1 means that the function was shifted 1 unit upward. Thus, the graph of

y = f(x - 4) + 1 = Ix - 4I + 1 is shown below
