The domain is x\in RR (all real numbers).
The range is y<=1.

Explanation:

The domain is x\in RR (all real numbers) since there are no numbers that cause any problems when substituted.

The range of y=|x| is y>=0 so we have to transform that. First we reflect over the x-axis because of the negative as a coefficient. That would make the range y<=0. Next we shift the entire graph up 1 unit because of the +1. That causes the range to change to y<=1.
