Using the parent function as reference, and according to the expression for g(x), to graph this function you need to do a vertical translation down 4 units.

It means, if the parent function had a y intercept of 0, now g(x) will have a y intercept of -4.

The graph will look like this:

F(x) = x to graph g(x) = |x - 4-example-1
