Question

what is a coordinate?
a series of intersecting lines on a map representing latitude and longitude
a symbol used on a map to represent a mountain, desert, or plain
one number in a set of numbers used to show the position of a point on a line, graph, or map
bold lines used to outline the boundary of a country, state, or province on a map

Explanation:

A coordinate is a number (or set of numbers) that indicates the position of a point. In the context of a line, graph, or map, it's used to precisely locate a point.

• Option A describes latitude - longitude lines (a grid), not a single coordinate.
• Option B is about a map symbol (like a pictorial representation of a mountain), not a coordinate.
• Option D is about boundary lines (like political boundaries), not a coordinate.

Answer:

C. One number in a set of numbers used to show the position of a point on a line, graph, or map
