To find the distance between -23 and 9 on a number line, you can use the formula for distance, which is the absolute value of the difference between the two numbers:
\[
\text{Distance} = |x_2 - x_1|
\]
In this case, let \(x_1 = -23\) and \(x_2 = 9\).
Calculating the difference:
\[
9 - (-23) = 9 + 23 = 32
\]
Taking the absolute value, the distance is:
\[
|32| = 32
\]
Therefore, the answer is:
**32**
\[
\text{Distance} = |x_2 - x_1|
\]
In this case, let \(x_1 = -23\) and \(x_2 = 9\).
Calculating the difference:
\[
9 - (-23) = 9 + 23 = 32
\]
Taking the absolute value, the distance is:
\[
|32| = 32
\]
Therefore, the answer is:
**32**
