Answer

$\boxed{y=|x|-9}$ is the function whose graph is the graph of $y=|x|$, but is shifted down 9 units.

Steps

Step 1 ：The function $y=|x|$ is the absolute value function.

Step 2 ：When we say that the graph is shifted down 9 units, it means that we subtract 9 from the function.

Step 3 ：So, the new function becomes $y=|x|-9$.

Step 4 ：$\boxed{y=|x|-9}$ is the function whose graph is the graph of $y=|x|$, but is shifted down 9 units.
