Hello there!
I have just taken the test on this answer and I got 10...
I hope this helps!!

Answer:

The y-coordinate of the solution is, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation:

[tex]y = -2x+4[/tex]            ....[1]

[tex]y=x^2+4x+13[/tex]         ....[2]

Equate the equation [1] and [2] we have;

[tex]-2x+4 = x^2+4x+13[/tex]

Add 2x to both sides of an equation:

[tex]4 = x^2+6x+13[/tex]

Subtract 4 from both sides we have;

[tex]0= x^2+6x+9[/tex]

or

[tex]x^2+6x+9=0[/tex]

Using perfect square:

[tex](x+a)^2 = x^2+2ax+a^2[/tex]

⇒We can write the equation as:

[tex]x^2+2 \cdot 3x+3^2=0[/tex]

then;

[tex](x+3)^2 = 0[/tex]

⇒[tex]x+3 = 0[/tex]

Subtract 3 from both sides we have;

x = -3

Substitute value of x in [1] we have;

[tex]y = -2(-3)+4[/tex]

⇒[tex]y =6+4=10[/tex]

Solution for the given system of equation = (-3, 10)

Therefore, the  y-coordinate of the solution is, 10
