Which table fields can be used to map x,y values? Choose two.

1. Postal_Code

2. Longitude

3. Point_Y

4. Address

The correct answer is: Longitude

Longitude is an essential field used for mapping x,y values since it provides the horizontal coordinate in geographic coordinate systems. The longitude value indicates how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian, making it a vital component for placing points accurately on a map. In order to complete the coordinate representation, a second field would typically be needed that provides the corresponding vertical coordinate, which is latitude. However, among the provided choices, the most directly relevant field for defining spatial coordinates is the Longitude field, as it specifically contributes to the x value in the Cartesian coordinate system. The other options, such as Postal_Code and Address, do not directly represent numerical coordinate values for mapping. While Point_Y might seem relevant, it is important to match the context of standard fields used for such mapping; in many cases, it could represent another guise of latitude, but given the focus on explicitly defined values, Longitude is the clearest indicator of x-coordinates for mapping purposes.
