It helps to list the transformations. But it's not necessary; you can sub in values and solve for the other value. Plot those values.

First off, let's add a #2# to the equation in order to isolate #y#.

Now we have:# y= - | x + 3 | + 3#

Before we graph, let's list the transformations.

Now we know what to expect. So, let's sub in values of #x# and solve for #y#.

Then, we plot the values of #x# and #y#.

We should get this:

graph{y= - | x + 3 | + 3 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Hope this helps :)
