Notice that the given graph is a concave-up parabola.

Now, recall that the minimum value of a concave up parabola is the y entry of its vertex.

From the given graph we get that the vertex of the given parabola is:


(0,-7)\text{.}

The y entry of the above point is -7, then the minimum value of the given function is -7.

Answer: -7.
