Answer

$y=\sqrt{x-1}-3$.

Work Step by Step

Graph of square root function $\sqrt{x}$ is moved $1$ unit right and $3$ units down to get the given graph. Translation $1$ unit right $~\rightarrow~$ $\sqrt{x-1}$ Translation $3$ units down $~\rightarrow~$ $\sqrt{x-1}-3$ So, the new equation is $y=\sqrt{x-1}-3$.
