Solution

The equation of the new graph is y = |x + 2| - 2.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. The original equation is y = |x – 1|.

  2. When a graph is translated 3 units to the left, we add 3 to the x values in the equation. So, |x – 1| becomes |x – 1 + 3|, which simplifies to |x + 2|.

  3. When a graph is translated 2 units down, we subtract 2 from the y values in the equation. So, y = |x + 2| becomes y = |x + 2| - 2.

So, the equation of the new graph is y = |x + 2| - 2.
