Answer:
f(x) down 5 units
and shifted to the left 9 units
Explanation:
Transforming f(x) = |x| into g(x) = |x+9| - 5
involves:
1) shifting the graph horizontally 9 units to the left (with the subtraction of -9 from the variable "x", getting x+9 inside the absolute value symbols, and
2) shifting its graph 5 units down by subtracting 5 from the full expression
