### Functions and Lines: Finding a Solution to a Linear Equation in Two Variables

#### Instructions:

To find an ordered pair \((x, y)\) that is a solution to the given linear equation \(2x - y = 4\).

#### Problem Statement:

Find an [ordered pair](https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/x2f8bb11595b61c86:equations-inequalities/x2f8bb11595b61c86:solutions-to-equations/e/order-pairs) \((x, y)\) that is a solution to the [equation](https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/x2f8bb11595b61c86:linear-equations/x2f8bb11595b61c86:solving-linear-equations/a/solving-linear-equations-intro).

Given Equation: 
\[2x - y = 4\]

#### Solution Process:

1. Identify the form of the equation: This is a linear equation in two variables.
2. Choose a value for \(x\) or \(y\) to solve for the other variable.
3. Substitute the chosen value into the equation to find the corresponding value of the other variable.
4. Verify that the resulting ordered pair \((x, y)\) satisfies the given equation.

#### Input Box for Solutions:

In the input box below the equation:
\[
(x, y) = \left( \_\_, \_\_ \right)
\]
Fill in the values that make the equation true.

#### Additional Notes:

- Use the square and fraction icons provided if your solution includes fractions or special characters.
- Verify your answer by substituting back into the original equation.

Please ensure that the ordered pair is correctly solved and verified to confirm it satisfies the equation \(2x - y = 4\).
