Answer

$y=-|x+1|+3$.

Work Step by Step

Graph of absolute value function $|x|$ is reflected across the $x$-axis, moved one unit left and $3$ units up to get the given graph. Reflection across $x$-axis $~\rightarrow~$ $-|x|$ Translation one unit left $~\rightarrow~$ $-|x+1|$ Translation $3$ units up $~\rightarrow~$ $-|x+1|+3$ So, the new equation is $y=-|x+1|+3$.
