Question Number 19732 by Tinkutara last updated on 15/Aug/17

The locus of z given by ∣((z − 1)/(z − i))∣ = 1 is

$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{locus}\:\mathrm{of}\:{z}\:\mathrm{given}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mid\frac{{z}\:−\:\mathrm{1}}{{z}\:−\:{i}}\mid\:=\:\mathrm{1}\:\mathrm{is} \\ $$

z lies on perpendicular bisector  of line joining z=1 and z=i that    passes through origin.  So,    y=x    ((z−z^� )/(2i))=((z+z^� )/2)  or   z−z^� =iz+iz^�   or        (1−i)z−(1+i)z^� =0                multipying by i we get             (1+i)z+(1−i)z^� =0 .
