Ordered pairs are used to locate points on the coordinate plane.
Oh, dude, like, just tell your classmate to find the equator first, you know, that big imaginary line around the middle of the Earth. Then they should go 27 degrees north of that and 19 degrees east of the Prime Meridian. It's like playing a game of geo-Twister, but with coordinates. Easy peasy!
It is the straight line equation that can be used to locate coordinates of x and y on the Cartesian plane
The lines of latitude provide vertical (north-south) coordinates on a map or globe. Lines of longitude provide horizontal (east-west) coordinates. The defined geographical point is where the latitude line intersects the longitude line.

The Equator
Latitude and longitude coordinates are used to locate places on the Earth's surface. Latitude measures distance north or south of the Equator, while longitude measures distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. This system allows for accurate and precise pinpointing of locations worldwide.
They are used to locate a certain place on a map.
Longitudinal lines run from pole to pole, parallel to the Prime Meridian. They help locate positions east or west of the Prime Meridian on a map or globe.
It is in Meridian, Idaho
Parallels and meridians are both lines used to locate points on the Earth's surface. Parallels run east-west and measure distances north or south of the Equator, while meridians run north-south and provide reference for locations east or west of the Prime Meridian.
You can define any point on the surface of the Earth by measuring degrees, minutes of arc and seconds, north or south of the equator and degrees, minutes and seconds east or west of the Prime Meridian. The equator is the zero mark for latitude; the prime meridian (which passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England) is the zero point for longitude.
There are some websites that will help one locate and get information on hotels in Meridian. To name a few, one could try Trip Advisor, Expedia and Hotels.
The point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake begins is known as the epicenter. It is the point on the surface vertically above the focus or hypocenter of the earthquake, where the seismic waves originate. Seismologists use the epicenter to locate and map earthquake events.
To determine the longitude of a place, you need to find the meridian on which it is located. This meridian is known as the prime meridian, which is the line of longitude designated as 0°. By identifying the prime meridian and calculating the distance to the location's meridian, you can determine its exact longitude.
From Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh , there is a time lag of 2 hrs. so , time along the standard meridian of India is taken as standard time for the whole country as it avoids confusion that could have been occur due to the following of different local times.
They are lines of latitude.
