A coordinate plane shows the x and y axes ranging from negative 6 to 6 in unit increments. Four points are plotted and labeled on the plane. The coordinates of the plotted points and the labels are as follows: left parenthesis 2 comma 1 right parenthesis is labeled as daisies, left parenthesis 5 comma 1 right parenthesis as roses, left parenthesis 5 comma 5 right parenthesis as lilies, and left parenthesis 2 comma 6 right parenthesis as sunflowers.
A map of a flower shop is shown. How far are the sunflowers located from the daisies? Each coordinate represents a foot.

To find the distance between the sunflowers (2, 6) and the daisies (2, 1), we can use the distance formula. However, since they share the same x-coordinate, we can simply find the distance by subtracting their y-coordinates.
Distance = |y₂ - y₁| = |6 - 1| = 5 feet
So, the distance between the sunflowers and the daisies is 5 feet.
Therefore, the correct response is:
5 feet
