Step 1/5

The objective describe geometrically the set of points in the complex plane satisfying the

equation angle of
Step 2/5

A complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form , where a and b are real
numbers
According to the complex number, consider the equation:
The imaginary part of the complex number is and the real part is .
The complex conjugate of a complex number is the number with an equal real part and an
imaginary part equal in magnitude but opposite in sign
Therefore, the complex conjugate of the complex number is:
Step 3/5

The angle of is:

Step 4/5

Continue further, we get

Inversing the obtained equation,
Therefore, the condition is
The set obtained is:
Hence, the obtained set is the positive direction of
Step 5/5

The plot for the positive direction of :
