How do I subset a box-plots in R?

Boxplot of Cylinders vs Economy_highway

The code I used to get this boxplot from the "Cars" data is as follows:

boxplot(Economy_highway ~ Cylinders,data = Cars, main="Box Plot",ylab="cylinders", xlab="highway_economy",horizontal=TRUE, col = "skyblue")

My question is, how do we subset the cylinders 4 & 6 vs Economy_highway?

I have tried several subsetting codes but still unsuccessful.

boxplot has a subset= argument, so, with a reproducible example you can do something like:

boxplot(mpg ~ cyl, data=mtcars, subset=cyl %in% c(4,6))

Which I think for your full example translates to:

boxplot(Economy_highway ~ Cylinders,data = Cars,subset=Cylinders %in% c(4,6), main="Box Plot", ylab="cylinders", xlab="highway_economy",horizontal=TRUE, col = "skyblue")
