To find the distance between two numbers on a number line, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = |a - b|
\]
where \( a \) and \( b \) are the two numbers.
In this case, let \( a = -23 \) and \( b = 9 \):
\[
\text{Distance} = |-23 - 9| = |-32| = 32
\]
So, the distance between -23 and 9 on a number line is **32**.
