|z+i|=|z−2| or $ \left| z+i
\right| ^{ 2 }=\left| z-2 \right| ^{ 2 }$
or |x+iy+i|2=|x+iy−2|2
or x2+(y+1)2=(x−2)2+y2
or 4x+2y−3=0
Hence point z satisfying the given equation lie on the
straight line (1).
Alternative. We know that $\left| z+i \right| =\left| z-(-i)
\right| isthedistancefromthepointz$ to the point
representing the number −i and |z+2| is the
distance from the point z to the point representing the
number 2. It is required to find the point for which these
distances are equal. The solution will thus be a locus of a point
equidistant from tow fixed point representing the number −i
and 2 i.e from the point (0,−1) and (2,0).
From the geometry we know that this locus is a straight line
perpendicular to a line segment connecting the points (0,−1)
and (2,0) and passing through its mid-point. Hence all point
z satisfying |z+i|=|z−2| lie on this line.
