Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the coordinates of points M and N
  • Point M is located at -3 on the number line.
  • Point N is located at 2 on the number line.
Step 2: Calculate the distance between M and N
  • The distance between two points on a number line is the absolute difference between their coordinates.
  • Distance \( MN = |M - N| = |-3 - 2| \).
Step 3: Simplify the absolute difference
  • Simplify the expression: \( |-3 - 2| = |-5| = 5 \).

Final Answer

The distance \( MN \) is 5.
