Hint: draw the graph
The slope will either be 1 or -1 other than at critical points...
Give it a shot

what is the value of the function at x=-1, x=1, x=0
will there be another point where the shape of the graph changes?
aieeee

also,if we draw the sign scheme of f(x) we will find four intervals and their values would be:
f(x)= (x-1) when x belongs to (1,∞)
= -x+1 ,when x belongs to (0,1)
= x-1 ,when x belongs to (-1,0)
= -x-1 ,when x belongs to (-∞,-1)
sumeet, hope now u cn find f'(x) in d respective intervals

One simpler method
Draw the graph of |x|
then Think of |x|-1
Then draw the graph of ||x|-1|
Then it is trivial :)
