1st method : If z be any point on the line joining z1andz2 then
arg(z−z1z−z2)=0
∴z−z1z−z2=ei,0orei,π
∴z−z1z−z2=¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(z−z1z−z2)=¯z−¯z1¯z−¯z2
Cross-multiply and cancel z¯z from both sides and we have
z(¯z1−¯z2)−¯z(z1−z2)+z1¯z2−¯z1z2=0
or ∣∣
∣∣z¯z1z1¯z11z2¯z21∣∣
∣∣=0
2nd method : If z1=x1+iy1andz2=x2+iy2 then equation of line is
∣∣
∣∣xy1x1y11x2y21∣∣
∣∣=0
Apply C1+iC2andthenmultiplyC2by2i.
∣∣
∣∣z2iy1z12iy11z22iy21∣∣
∣∣=0or∣∣
∣∣zz−¯z1z1z1−¯z11z2z2−¯z21∣∣
∣∣=0
Apply C2−C1 and take -1 common.
∣∣
∣∣z¯z1z!¯z11z2¯z21∣∣
∣∣=0
Deduction :
Here z1=α,¯z1=α,z2=iβ∴¯z2=−iβ
∴Lineis ∣∣
∣∣z¯z1αα1iβ−iβ1∣∣
∣∣=0
or z(α+iβ)−¯z(α−iβ)−2iαβ=0
Dividing throughout by 2iαβ and putting 1i=−i
z2(1α−iβ)+¯z2(1α+iβ)=1
