Show that the equation of a circle passings through the origin and having intercepts a and b on real and imaginary axis, respectively, on the argand plane is `Re ((z-a)/(z-ib)) = 0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to the question, we have circle as shown in the figure.

Clearly, complex numbers 'a' and 'ib' are and points of diameter. So, for any complex number z on the circle, we have
`arg((z-a)/(z-ib))=+-(pi)/(2)`
Thus, `(z-a)/(z-ib)` is purely imaginary.
`:." ""Re"((z-a)/(z-ib))=0`
