If you are given the coordinates 20 north 30 west they will be whether you are looking on a globe or a Mercator projection or using a GPS device in the real world?

The system of latitude and longitude is independent of the device used to measure it,
or the map used to read it.
When you're marooned at sea and calling the Coast Guard to come rescue you, you give them
the latitude/longitude of your location, and they know exactly where you are. They don't have to
ask you what kind of device or map you're using in order to know those numbers.

Do you look at the lines of latitude or the lines of longitude first when you are finding the coordinates?
It does not matter whether you look at the lines of latitude or longitude first. Usually coordinates are written latitude, then longitude. Good luck!
Can you tell that a volcano is about to explode by looking at it?
Not just by looking at it. Scientists do detailed analysis using seismographs, and chemical samples of gas and,where possible, lava. These can point to whether or not a volcano is getting read to erupt.
How is a mixture determined to be heterogeneous or homogeneous?
One way to decide whether a sample of matter is homogeneous or heterogeneous is just by looking at it.
Are microwaves a form of visible light?
No. If you take the light bulb out of the microwave oven, then you can't tell by looking at it whether or not it's running.
Can you show Korea's' location on a world map?
Look for the Pacific Ocean on the map and find Japan on the western edge. Then look across to the continent of Asia and Korea is the little peninsula sticking out from China toward Japan. If you look in the gazeteer (index), it will give you the page and the coordinates of any name you're looking for, whether country, city, river. etc.
What is the history of astral projection?
From what I understand, the practice of astral projection originated thousands of years ago, in the mountains of Asia. It has been a meditation practiced throughout history, but has become particularly prominent in recent years. As to whether or not astral projection is truly an out-of-body trip I cannot say. I have had a few experiences that I believe are similar to, if not the same as what many occult people refer to as "astral projection", but I honestly cannot prove whether the projection was all in my mind or not.
Are you naked when you use Astral projection?
There is no "astral projection" past dreams, imaginings or hallucinations. Whether one is dressed or not during these times is up to them, and whether they dream they are naked or not varies. Typically they are not naked. Astral projection is real and has been proven scientifically. Just as a person wouldn't be naked when going to the store, when a person projects astrally they are fully clothed.
How can you tell whether a point is on the y-axis?
look at its coordinates and if x is zero then it's on the y-axis
How do you solve for a spherical triangle?
If by sperical triangle you mean a triangle on the surface of a sphere, you will need 3 dimensional coordinate geometry. Whether you use polar coordinates or linear coordinates will depend on what you want to "solve".
What do you if both the coordinates are negative when doing a rotation of 90 degrees?
The answer will depend on whether the rotation is clockwise or anti-clockwise.
How do you determine whether a point is on a given line or not?
Substitute the coordinates of the point into the equation of the line. If the equation is still valid then the point is on the line; if not then it is not.

When graphing the points can your tell whether or not they are collinear?
Yes. Calculate the ratio of the difference in y-coordinates and the difference in x-coordinates between pairs of points. If the ratio is the same, the points are collinear. If not, they are not. The only exception is if all the x-coordinates are he same and the ratio is not defined. In this case the points are also collinear - all on a vertical line.

How can you determine whether a point is a solution to system of equations?
You substitute the coordinates of the point in the equation. If the result is true then the point is a solution and if it is false it is not a solution.
What to do if your friend looks at your penis?
That depends on whether or not you mind him looking. I think it depends on who id looking and what they have in mind.
How do you find whether the given quadrilateral is a triangle?
Suppose a quadrilateral is given using its vertex coordinates. It will be a triangle if three vertices are collinear, that is are on the same line.
