Answer: Choice A. 6/7

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ordered pair is (4, ___) so we have x = 4 here.

We will plug this into f(x) and g(x) to get

f(4) = 6

g(4) = 7

So we have
(f(4))/(g(4)) = (6)/(7)

-----------

If you're curious where f(4) = 6 came from, all we're doing is looking through the set of points

f = {(0, 1), (2, 4), (4, 6), (6, 8)}

to see which has 4 listed first as the x coordinate. That point is (4,6) so x = 4 leads to y = 6, ie, f(x) = 6 when x = 4. A similar situation happens with g(x) as well.
