For latitude the sextant, and later for longitude, the marine chronometer.
Every line of constant latitude intersects every possible longitude, and vice-versa.
Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth horizontally, and are parallel to the Equator. Lines of Latitude are intercepted by Lines of Longitude. Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is zero longitude and passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
Yes. That is the purpose of the system of latitude/longitude.
The question is ambiguous because it does not specify whether the latitude is North or South nor whether the longitude is East or West. It is possible that the town is Clearfield, PA.
The Prime Meridian is at zero degrees longitude and every possible latitude.

Zero longitude / Every possible latitude
The Tropic of Cancer is the parallel of roughly 23.5
The Prime Meridian is a line made up of all the points on Earth that have zero longitude. There is one of those points at every possible latitude.
The Prime Meridian is the line composed of all the points that havezero longitude and every possible latitude.

The Prime Meridian is at zero degrees longitude and every possible latitude.
If you spend some time with a globe, a book of maps, or a mapping softwarepackage, you'll find loads of cities and towns that are all on almost any latitudeyou choose, and tons of them that are all on almost any longitude you choose.But . . .A pair of latitude / longitude numbers describes a single point on the Earth. Soit's not possible for two different points to have the same latitude and longitude.
No. There's a point on the Prime Meridian at every possible latitude in existence.The only thing constant about the Prime Meridian, and its definition, is that everypoint on it has zero longitude.
The equator is composed of all the points that have zero latitude and every possible longitude.
