    We can easily convert this into Cartesian form by replacing z by x+iy |(x+iy)-(-3 +2i)|=5 |(x+3) + i(y-2)|=5 √(〖(x+3)〗^2+〖(y-2)〗^2 ) =5 or 〖(x+3)〗^2+〖(y-2)〗^2=25 Which is the exact form of a Cartesian equation of a circle with a center of (-3, 2) and a radius of 5 We could check if a particular point lies on the circle Ex. z2=1-3i Substituting into the equation of the circle, with z replaced by z2=1-3i |(1-3i) - (-3 + 2i)|=5 |4-5i|=5 √(4^2+〖(-5)〗^2 ) =5 41=5, which is not true, thus z2 does not…
