Answer:
y = |x| -13
Step-by-step explanation:
recall for any function y = f(x), to translate the function vertically by any value "a", we simply have to add "a" to f(x).
If a is positive, then the graph is translated in the positive y-direction (i.e upwards), if a is negative, then the graph is translated in the negative y-direction (i.e downwards)
In our case , the graph is translated vertically by 13 units (i.e a = 13) and it is to be translated downwards (i.e negative)
hence we add a= -13 to the original function.
y = f(x) + (-13)
y = |x| + (-13)
y = |x| -13
