Question

Given the complex number `5 – 3i` how do you graph the complex number in the complex plane?

Answer 1

Draw two perpendicular axes, like you would for a `y,x` graph, but instead of `yandx` use `iandr`.

A plot of `(r,i)` will be so the `r` is the real number, and `i` is the imaginary number.

So, plot a point on `(5,-3)` on the `r,i` graph.
