Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation

Plotting numbers on the complex plane means the real part of the number is plotted using the x-axis and the imaginary part is plotted using the y-axis. The point is then connected to the origin (0, 0)

The general form of the complex number is (x + iy)

For the question given,

a) -6

= -6 + 0i

x = -6, y = 0

(-6, 0)

For this, the point on the x-y axis, will lie on the x-axis and the point to be marked will be at x = -6, So, the graph of this in the complex plane will just be connected from the origin (0, 0) to the point (-6, 0).

b) -4 - 6i

x = -4, y = -6

(-4, -6)

For this, the point on the x-y axis, will lie on the x-axis and the point to be marked will be at x = -4 and y = -6, so, the graph of this in the complex plane will just be connected from the origin (0, 0) to the point (-4, -6).

Hope this Helps!!!
