The equation |z - i| = |z + i| represents:

Answer: Real axis (y=0).

  • A Circle
  • B Imaginary axis
  • C Real axis (y=0)
  • D Parabola

Correct answer: C. Real axis (y=0)

Explanation: |z-i| = |z+i| means equidistant from i and -i. The perpendicular bisector of the segment from -i to i is the real axis (y = 0).

Argand Plane: z = a + ibReImz = a+iba (real part)b (imaginary part)θ = arg(z)|z| = length of the vector OZ = √(a²+b²); θ = angle OZ makes with the positive real axis

A complex number z = a+ib is plotted as a point (or vector from the origin) on the Argand plane, with the real part along the horizontal axis and the imaginary part along the vertical; its modulus |z| is the vector's length, and its argument θ is the angle from the positive real axis.

Concept context
