Let's solve the given problems step by step. 

### Given functions:
- \( f(x) = 2x - 4 \)
- \( g(x) = 6 - x \)

We need to evaluate these functions at specified points or perform operations involving these functions.

#### (a) \( (f + g)(2) \)

To find \( (f + g)(2) \), we add \( f(2) \) and \( g(2) \):

1. Calculate \( f(2) \):
   \[
   f(2) = 2(2) - 4 = 4 - 4 = 0
   \]
   
2. Calculate \( g(2) \):
   \[
   g(2) = 6 - 2 = 4
   \]
   
3. Therefore,
   \[
   (f + g)(2) = f(2) + g(2) = 0 + 4 = 4
   \]

#### (b) \( (f - g)(-6) \)

To find \( (f - g)(-6) \), we subtract \( g(-6) \) from \( f(-6) \):

1. Calculate \( f(-6) \):
   \[
   f(-6) = 2(-6) - 4 = -12 - 4 = -16
   \]
   
2. Calculate \( g(-6) \):
   \[
   g(-6) = 6 - (-6) = 6 + 6 = 12
   \]
   
3. Therefore,
   \[
   (f - g)(-6) = f(-6) - g(-6) = -16 - 12 = -28
   \]

#### (c) \( (g - f)(1) \)

To find \( (g - f)(1) \), we subtract \( f(1) \) from \( g(1) \):

1. Calculate \( g(1) \):
   \[
   g(1) = 6 - 1 = 5
   \]

2. Calculate \( f(1) \):
   \[
   f(1) = 2(1) - 4 = 2 - 4 = -2
   \]

3. Therefore,
   \[
   (g - f)(1) = g(1) - f(1) = 5 - (-2) = 5 + 2 = 7
   \]

#### (d) \( (g \cdot f)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \)

To find \( (g \cdot f)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \), we multiply \( g\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \) by \( f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \):

1. Calculate \( g\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \):
   \[
   g\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 6 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{12}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{11}{2}
   \]

2. Calculate \( f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \):
   \[
   f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) - 4 = 1 - 4 = -3
   \]

3. Therefore,
   \[
   (g \cdot f)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = g\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \cdot f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{11}{2} \cdot (-3) = -\frac{33}{2}
   \]

#### (e) \( \left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(-4) \)

To find \( \left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(-4) \), we divide \( f(-4) \) by \( g(-4) \):

1. Calculate \( f(-4) \):
   \[
   f(-4) = 2(-4) - 4 = -8 - 4 = -12
   \]

2. Calculate \( g(-4) \):
   \[
   g(-4) = 6 - (-4) = 6 + 4 = 10
   \]

3. Therefore,
   \[
   \left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(-4) = \frac{f(-4)}{g(-4)} = \frac{-12}{10} = -\frac{6}{5}
   \]

#### (f) \( \left(\frac{g}{f}\right)(-3) \)

To find \( \left(\frac{g}{f}\right)(-3) \), we divide \( g(-3) \) by \( f(-3) \):

1. Calculate \( g(-3) \):
   \[
   g(-3) = 6 - (-3) = 6 + 3 = 9
   \]

2. Calculate \( f(-3) \):
   \[
   f(-3) = 2(-3) - 4 = -6 - 4 = -10
   \]

3. Therefore,
   \[
   \left(\frac{g}{f}\right)(-3) = \frac{g(-3)}{f(-3)} = \frac{9}{-10} = -\frac{9}{10}
   \]

### Final Results:

- (a) \( (f + g)(2) = 4 \)
- (b) \( (f - g)(-6) = -28 \)
- (c) \( (g - f)(1) = 7 \)
- (d) \( (g \cdot f)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = -\frac{33}{2} \)
- (e) \( \left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(-4) = -\frac{6}{5} \)
- (f) \( \left(\frac{g}{f}\right)(-3) = -\frac{9}{10} \)
