1. **State the problem:** We need to find the value of the composition \((f \circ g)(-2)\), which means \(f(g(-2))\).
2. **Identify given functions and values:**
- The function \(h(x) = 3x^2 - 4x - 1\) is given but not directly related to \(f\) or \(g\).
- The table gives values of \(g(x)\) at specific points:
\(g(-2) = 4\).
- The graph of \(f(x)\) is a straight increasing line passing through approximately \((0,4)\) and \((6,10)\).
3. **Find \(g(-2)\):** From the table, \(g(-2) = 4\).
4. **Find \(f(4)\):** Since \(f(x)\) is linear and passes through \((0,4)\) and \((6,10)\), find its equation:
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{10 - 4}{6 - 0} = \frac{6}{6} = 1
\]
Equation of \(f(x)\):
\[
f(x) = 1 \cdot x + b
\]
Using point \((0,4)\):
\[
4 = 0 + b \implies b = 4
\]
So,
\[
f(x) = x + 4
\]
5. **Evaluate \(f(4)\):**
\[
f(4) = 4 + 4 = 8
\]
6. **Final answer:**
\[
(f \circ g)(-2) = f(g(-2)) = f(4) = 8
\]
