1. Write an equivalent ratio for 5 : 13.

Based on the characteristics of linear and piecewise functions, the piecewise function $f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right.$ is shown in the graph attached herein. (Correct choice: A)

<h3>How to determine a piecewise function</h3>

In this question we have a graph formed by two different linear functions. Linear functions are polynomials with grade 1 and which are described by the following formula:

y = m · x + b (1)

Where:

x - Independent variable.
y - Dependent variable.
m - Slope
b - Intercept

By direct observation and by applying (1) we have the following piecewise function:

$f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right.$

Based on the characteristics of linear and piecewise functions, the piecewise function $f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right.$ is shown in the graph attached herein. (Correct choice: A)
