Given:


\begin{gathered} y=-2x+4\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots(1) \\ y=x^2+4x+13\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots(2) \end{gathered}

To find: The y-coordinate of the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting equation (1) in equation (2) and solving, we get


\begin{gathered} -2x+4=x^2+4x+13 \\ x^2+4x+13+2x-4=0 \\ x^2+6x+9=0 \\ (x+3)(x+3)=0 \\ x=-3,-3 \end{gathered}

Substitute the x-value in equation (1) we get,


\begin{gathered} y=-2(-3)+4 \\ y=6+4 \\ y=10 \end{gathered}

Thus, the solution is ( -3, 10).

Final answer:

The y-coordinate of the solution is 10.
