Explanation:

Step1: Identify the graph's ratio

From the visible point $(2,1)$, the ratio of sugar to flour is $\frac{1}{2}$.

Step2: Calculate sugar for 4 flour

Let $s$ = sugar cups. $\frac{s}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$ → $s = 4 \times \frac{1}{2} = 2$.

Step3: Form ordered pair

Ordered pair is (flour, sugar) = $(4,2)$.

Answer:

$(4, 2)$
