What is the equation and domain of the blue piece, labelled as "A"?

• f(x) = x + 1, x ≤ –1

• f(x) = x + 2, x ≤ –1

• f(x) = x, x ≤ –1

• f(x) = x – 1, x ≤ –1

Which piecewise function corresponds to this graph? (Take your time)

• f(x) = { x  if x < 4;   -x+1  if x ≥ 4

• f(x) = { x  if x ≤ 4;  -x+1  if x > 4

• f(x) = { -x+1  if x < 4;  x  if x ≥ 4

• f(x) = { -x+1  if x ≤ 4;  x if x > 4
