See explanation

Explanation:

The two vertical lines mean that for this equation the content is always positive and is of generic shape

You produce a table setting x against y.

Technically you only need 3 points and these are

The lowest value the equation can achieve and any other two pints so that you can form the V shape

At (1, 1) make a right angle by drawing the straight lines y=x,x>1andy=2x,x<1..

Explanation:

|x1|=x1,x>1.So,y=x,x>1.

|x1|=(x1),x<1.So,y=2x,x<1

The lines are half lines above the common point (1, 1 )..
