Answer

$\boxed{(-2, -5)}$ is the ordered-pair solution to the given linear equation.

Steps

Step 1 ：Substitute x = -2 into the equation 4x - 5y = 17 to find the missing y-coordinate.

Step 2 ：The equation becomes -8 - 5y = 17.

Step 3 ：Solving for y, we get y = -5.

Step 4 ：$\boxed{(-2, -5)}$ is the ordered-pair solution to the given linear equation.
