### Explanation of the Piecewise-Defined Function Graph

The task asks us to draw the graph of \( g(x) = f(x+5) - 1 \) based on the given graph of the piecewise-defined function \( f(x) \).

#### Graph Description:
- **Original Function \( f(x) \)**:
  - The graph is shown on a coordinate plane with the horizontal axis ranging from -7 to 7 and the vertical axis ranging from -3 to 9.
  - The function consists of three segments:
    1. A horizontal line from \((0, 3)\) to \((2, 0)\) (descending).
    2. A dashed line from \((2, 0)\) to \((3, 2)\).
    3. Another horizontal line from \((3, 2)\) to \((5, 3)\).

#### Steps to Transform \( f(x) \) to \( g(x) = f(x + 5) - 1 \):
1. **Horizontal Shift**: Replace \( x \) with \( x + 5 \) to shift the graph 5 units to the left.
2. **Vertical Shift**: Subtract 1 from the function, shifting the entire graph down by 1 unit.

By applying these transformations, the new graph \( g(x) \) will appear differently on the coordinate plane, following the shifts for the x-values and reducing the y-values by 1.
