graph{y=|x|-2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

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

This graph is the shape of $f = | x |$ $f=|x|$ , which is a $y = x$ $y=x$ graph reflected in the $y$ $y$ axis.

Then you simply translate the graph downwards by $2$ $2$ :

graph{y=|x|-2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

How do you graph f(x)=|x|−2f(x) =abs(x)-2?
