To graphically find the value of $f\left(g\left(9\right)\right)$f(g(9)) using the graphs of $f\left(x\right)$f(x) and $g\left(x\right)$g(x), what is the first value we typically determine from the graphs?

The value of $g\left(9\right)$g(9)

A

The value of $f\left(9\right)$f(9)

B

The $x$x-value where $f\left(x\right)=g\left(x\right)$f(x)=g(x)

C

The $y$y-intercept of $f\left(x\right)$f(x)
