Question

Describe the graphical relationship between a complex number and its complex conjugate.

Answer 1

The conjugate is the reflection over the x-axis of the complex number

Answer 2

Reflection

Explanation:

In a graph of complex numbers called the Argand plane the real part is taken as the x axis of the complex number and the imaginary part is taken as the y axis of the complex number. The conjugate of a complex number is the same magnitude of the original number but the sign of the imaginary number changes. So the conjugate is the reflection of the imaginary number.
