What is the distance between -23 and 9 on a number line?

Question

32
14
-14
-32

Answer 1

To find the distance between -23 and 9 on a number line, you subtract the smaller value from the larger value.

Distance = |larger value - smaller value|
Distance = |9 - (-23)|
Distance = |9 + 23|
Distance = |32|
Distance = 32

Therefore, the distance between -23 and 9 on a number line is 32.
