y=|x+5|
This is a "corner" graph, where the smallest value of y is when x=-5, and y=0. From there, as x gets larger positive or more negative, the value of y increases with the slope 1 or -1, respectively.
The domain is all x, for there is not any x where there is no value for y.
The range is y greater than to equal to 0, for it is an absolute value function.
It is shifted 5 units to the left on the x-axis, where y is a minimum.
