x^{2} + y^{2}-4x+2y

can be written as follows:

x^{2} -4x+ y^{2}+2y

(x^{2} -4x+4)-4+ (y^{2}+2y+1)-1

(x-2)^{2}+(y+1)^{2} -5

since (x-2)^{2} and (y+1)^{2} are always positive, except for x=2 and y=-1, when they become 0,

the minimum value of this expression is when x=2, and y=-1, that is -5



Answer: -5
