Complex Plane

The complex plane is a way to visually represent complex numbers, which have a real part and an imaginary part. Imagine a grid with two axes: the horizontal axis (real axis) shows the real part, and the vertical axis (imaginary axis) shows the imaginary part. Each complex number is plotted as a point where its real value determines its position left or right, and its imaginary value determines its position up or down. This visual tool helps in understanding how complex numbers add, subtract, or multiply in a geometric way.
