To find the distance between the sunflowers (2, 6) and the daisies (2, 1), we can use the absolute value of the difference in the y-coordinates, since the x-coordinates are the same.
The coordinates are:
- Sunflowers: (2, 6)
- Daisies: (2, 1)
We can calculate the distance in the y-coordinate as follows:
1. Find the difference between the y-coordinates:
\[
|y_1 - y_2| = |6 - 1|
\]
\[
= |5|
\]
\[
= 5
\]
Since the x-coordinates are the same (both are 2), the distance between the sunflowers and the daisies is simply the difference in their y-coordinates.
Thus, the distance between the sunflowers and the daisies is 5 feet.
