Why not draw the graph of y=|x|? It has a v-shape, and the vertex is at (0,0).
The graph of f(x) = |x| - 3 looks exactly the same, EXCEPT that the whole graph of |x| is shifted 3 units downward. The smallest value that y can have is therefore -3.
Can you now figure out the range of f(x)?

The bucket leaks 1/4 ounce per hour. Because the numerator is 3 and it took 3 hours, you can give 1/4 to every hour (3/4 divided by 3).
