Answer: D: y = 1,9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are

y = x^2

y = - x^2 - 4x + 6

On the graph, the solutions are the x and y coordinates of the point of intersection of the 2 graphs. The solutions(x and y coordinates) are

(1, 1) and (- 3, 9)

The y-values of the solutions to this system of equations is

D: y = 1,9
