Here is the graph of y = |x|

graph%28400%2C400%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C+abs%28x%29%29

The difference between 

y = |x| 

and 

y = |x| - 3

is that 3 has been subtracted from the right side.  That
shifts the graph downward by 3 units.  Here is the graph of y = |x| - 3

graph%28400%2C400%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C+abs%28x%29-3%29
