The locus of a point z represented by the equation z - 1 = | z - i | on the argand plane is (where, z ∈ C , i = - 1 )
Options
- Aa circle of radius 1
- Ban ellipse with foci at 1 and – i
- Ca line passing through the origin
- Da circle on the line joining 1 and – i as diameter
Correct answer
C. a line passing through the origin
Step-by-step solution
Given, z - 1 = z - i ⇒ z lies on the perpendicular bisector of the line joining ( 1 , 0 ) and ( 0 , 1 ) and it is a straight line passing through the origin.
