My math book doesn't show crap Hayley, now stop answering questions you don't know the answers to just to get a couple of stupid points!

So -|x| flips it over, huh? I knew there was a plus three in there but I didn't know how to flip it upside down. Ok, Pascal, thanks! I'll be back later on to give dub your answer the best! :D

Looks like all of the points are consistent with -f(x) + 3.

For f(x) = |x|, the lowest point is the origin. Also, the slope to the right of the origin is 1 and to the left is -1.
By looking at the given points, you can see that (0, 3) is the highest point. Also, the slopes are 1 for each pair to the left of (0, 3) and -1 to the right of (0, 3).
This tells us two things. The graph has been flipped in the x-axis (to make a "highest" point) and the graph has been shifted up 3. Thus, the new equation is y = -|x| + 3. Hope this helps.

You need to reflect f(x) across the x-axis and then translate the result three units up.
