To find the distance between two points on a number line, you can simply subtract the smaller value from the larger value. In this case, the larger value is 86.25 and the smaller value is -17.75.

Distance = Larger Value - Smaller Value
Distance = 86.25 - (-17.75)
Distance = 86.25 + 17.75
Distance = 104

Therefore, the distance between 86.25 and -17.75 is 104.
