Learn how to graph an absolute value equation with a vertical shift down

The video tutorial explains how to graph an absolute value inequality, specifically focusing on the equation y = |x| - 3. It covers the basic properties of the graph, including its shape and transformation. The tutorial highlights the effect of the transformation, which shifts the graph downward by 3 units, and explains how to determine the new vertex. The instructor provides a step-by-step guide to graphing the inequality, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same slope and symmetry. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the key difference between the parent graph and the transformed graph.
