Show that if z_1 z_2  + z_3 z_4  = 0 and z_1  +  z_2  = 0, then the complex numbers z_1 ,  z_2 , z_3 , z_4  are concyclic.

Origin is the midpoint of the join  of z_1  and z_2 .    (as z_1 +z_2 =0 )  z_3 z_4 +z_1 z_2 =0   ⇒    z_3 z_4 =z_1 ^2   ⇒  ((z_4 /z_1 ))((z_3 /z_1 ))=1  ⇒ arg((z_4 /z_1 ))=−arg((z_3 /z_1 ))  also   ∣z_3 ∣∣z_4 ∣=∣z_1 ∣^2    or    ∣z_5 ∣∣z_4 ∣=∣z_1 ∣^2   ⇒    xy=R^2   power of point (here origin) is  the same for chord joining z_1 ,z_2   and chord joining z_4 , z_5 .  and as ∣z_3 ∣=∣z_5 ∣ ; z_1 , z_2 , z_3 , z_4  are  concyclic.

Why ∣z_3 ∣ = ∣z_5 ∣? How you have defined  z_5 ?
Whyz3=z5?Howyouhavedefinedz5?

it is reflection of z_3  about the  perpendicular bisector of the join  of z_1  and z_2 . Hence ∣z_5 ∣=∣z_3 ∣ .
