The question is asking for the minimum value of the function, in other words, the y-value in a certain domain. Since we are looking for the minimum y-value when x is greater than -4 and less than 6, we can rule out choice A. We can also rule out choice B because that is an x-value and not a y-value. The lowest y-value given the domain limitations is going to be where x is -4. At that point, y is -2. That's our answer: -2.
