Solution

The correct option is A ¯βz+β¯z+c=0
If z=x+iy then ¯z=xiy
x=z+¯z2,y=z¯z2i,z¯z=|z|2=x2+y2
The equation of a circle is
α(x2+y2)+2gx+2fy+c=0
α z¯z+g(z+¯z)+f(z¯z)i+c=0
or α z¯z+g(z+¯z)if(z¯z)+c=0
or α z¯z+(gif)z+(g+if)¯z+c=0
Now if g+if=β then gif=¯β
α z¯z+¯βz+β¯z+c=0
It is of the same form as given.
Deduction: Circle (1) will reduce to a straight line if α =0 in (1). Hence putting α =0 in (2) the equation of the line can be put in the form
¯βz+β¯z+c=0
