f(x)=|x| behaves like f(x)=x when x≥0 and like f(x)=-x when x<0.

This gives f(x) a V-shaped appearance where the point of the V is at the origin.

The transformations move the point of the V in various directions.

500 units to the right requires x to be replaced by x-500 so f(x)=|x-500|, while vertically stretched requires a multiplication of 5: f(x)=5|x-500|, and a vertical downward shift makes f(x)=5|x-500|-750.
