First of all, one latitude together with one longitude describe one point on the earth.

Next, in addition to numbers, latitude also needs 'north' or 'south', and longitude

also needs 'east' or 'west'. Without that information and with numbers only,

there are four different points that you could be talking about.

Here is where the point you're describing could be:

15° north latitude / 75° east longitude:

In western India, about 225 miles northwest of Bangalore,

on the Asian continent.

15° north latitude / 75° west longitude:

In the Caribbean Sea, about 240 miles southeast of Kingston, Jamaica.

15° south latitude / 75° east longitude:

In the Indian ocean, about 1,200 miles east-northeast of

Port Louis, Mauritius.

15° south latitude / 75° west longitude:

Near the coast of Peru, about 240 miles southeast of Lima,

on the South American continent.

Fortunately, this is not a distress call to the Coast Guard, to come out and

rescue you at the coordinates you gave them.

Degrees of longitude are uniform in length. 1 degree (Longitude) = 69.69 miles*Cos(Ө)(latitude) however the length of a degree of latitude depends on were you are on the planet. A degree of latitude at the equator is notable longer than, for example, a degree of latitude at the latitude of Toronto, Canada.
