At the Poles.
Latitude: N 19° 49' 48.45" / Longitude: W 90° 32' 5.6724"
Lines of longitude are farthest apart at the equator and closest together at the poles. This is because the lines of longitude converge at the poles and spread apart at the equator due to the Earth's shape being an oblate spheroid.
New York City is on the longitude 74o west
lines of longitude are lines drawn north and south and measure east and west a famous line of longitude is the Prime meridian
The highest longitude lines are the prime meridian at 0 degrees longitude and the 180 degrees longitude line. These lines mark the starting point for longitude measurements to the east and west, respectively.

The center of Mexico City is located at 19.42° north latitude 99.13° west longitude. Would you ask someone "What line on the ruler is closest to your height ?" I'm guessing you'd ask him "How tall are you ?" Forget about "lines". There is no standard set of of latitude and longitude lines from which you have to choose one that's somewhere close.
meridians or lines of longitude
New York City is on the longitude 74o west
"Lines" of constant longitude are "meridians".
Lines of longitude, or meridians.
Parallel lines, by definition, cannot meet. The lines of longitude meet at the Poles.
lines of longitude are lines drawn north and south and measure east and west a famous line of longitude is the Prime meridian
Vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian are lines of longitude.
The highest longitude lines are the prime meridian at 0 degrees longitude and the 180 degrees longitude line. These lines mark the starting point for longitude measurements to the east and west, respectively.
Longitude lines run from pole to pole.
