Question

How do you plot `6`?

Answer 1

As a point on the positive part (right hand side) of the Real axis at `6` units from the origin.

Explanation:

The Complex numbers are representable by a plane with Real numbers forming the `x`-axis and pure imaginary numbers forming the `y`-axis. The origin represents `0`.

So any Real number will be found somewhere on the `x`-axis, with positive numbers to the right and negative numbers to the left.

graph{(x-6)^2+y^2-0.01 = 0 [-7.625, 12.375, -5.08, 4.92]}

Any Complex number can be split into Real and imaginary parts. The Real part forms the `x` coordinate and the imaginary part the `y` coordinate.

Conversely, any point `(x, y)` on the plane corresponds to a Complex number `x+yi`
