Thread: Need help solving a complex numbers problem

How do you graph 2((z+zbar)/2) + ((z-zbar)/2i) = 5 ?
I've been stuck on this problem where z is a complex number z=x+iy and zbar is the conjugate of z. A little help would be very appreciated thanks in advance (:

One possibility is to set so that . Substitute these into your equation and see if you can solve for x and y...

Thanks I tried doing what you said and it's more simple than I thought unless I didn't do the right thing... I got y=-2x+5

I get that as well. So it's obviously a line in the complex plane that contains all the points satisfying the given equation
