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 :)
