To find out how far the ball was thrown, we need to calculate the distance between the starting point (1, 5) and the landing point (1, 22) on the coordinate plane.
Since both points share the same x-coordinate (1), the distance can be calculated using the difference in the y-coordinates:
Distance = |y2 - y1| = |22 - 5| = |17| = 17 yards.
Therefore, the ball was thrown **17 yards**.
