∣z−2−2i∣=∣z+2+2i∣|z-2-2i|=|z+2+2i| means zz is equidistant from z1=2+2iz_1=2+2i, i.e. (2,2)(2,2), and z2=−2−2iz_2=-2-2i, i.e. (−2,−2)(-2,-2). Squaring: (x−2)2+(y−2)2=(x+2)2+(y+2)2(x-2)^2+(y-2)^2=(x+2)^2+(y+2)^2. Expanding: x2−4x+4+y2−4y+4=x2+4x+4+y2+4y+4x^2-4x+4+y^2-4y+4=x^2+4x+4+y^2+4y+4, so −4x−4y=4x+4yRightarrow−8x−8y=0Rightarrowx+y=0-4x-4y=4x+4y\\Rightarrow-8x-8y=0\\Rightarrow x+y=0. This is the line through …
