Use the image to answer the question.
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. Each coordinate represents one foot. How far are the roses from the lilies? Explain how you found your answer.

To find out how far the roses are from the lilies, we need to look at the coordinates on the map. The roses are at (5,1) and the lilies are at (5,5). Since they are both on the same vertical line (the x-coordinate is the same), we can find the distance by subtracting the y-coordinates.
So, 5 (the y-coordinate of the lilies) minus 1 (the y-coordinate of the roses) equals 4.
Therefore, the roses are 4 feet away from the lilies on the map.
