Yes, because only one line can go through two set points and because they have the same slope and the same x and y-intercepts they have two set points that they must both go through making them identical.
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
since the parabola opens upwards, the minimum is at the vertex of the parabola and the maximum is infinity, because the lines of a parabola goes on forever
you look for the smallest x value for the parabola and since you can see that the vertex of the parabola lies on x=-2, the minimum value of the function is -2.
