Start with the graph of y=abs%28x%29 (basically a 'v' shaped graph with the vertex at the origin)




Now shift the graph 6 units to the right to graph y=abs%28x-6%29 (this graph is in green)





Finally, move the graph of y=abs%28x-6%29 5 units down to graph y=abs%28x-6%29-5 (this graph is in blue)





Answer:


So the graph of y=abs%28x-6%29-5 is
