To solve for \( x \) and \( y \) in the equation \( -2x + y = -4 \), we can express \( y \) in terms of \( x \):

\[
y = 2x - 4
\]

This equation specifies a relationship between \( x \) and \( y \). To find specific values for \( x \) and \( y \), we will need another equation, as we currently only have one equation with two unknowns.

If you have another equation in mind, please provide it, and I can help solve the system of equations for \( x \) and \( y \). If you want to find specific pairs of values, you can choose a value for \( x \) and calculate the corresponding \( y \). For example:

1. If \( x = 0 \):
\[
y = 2(0) - 4 = -4
\]
So, one solution is \( (0, -4) \).

2. If \( x = 2 \):
\[
y = 2(2) - 4 = 0
\]
Another solution is \( (2, 0) \).

3. If \( x = 3 \):
\[
y = 2(3) - 4 = 2
\]
Another solution is \( (3, 2) \).

Please let me know how you would like to proceed!
