Any number which is not on a any of the two lines, but a mixture of imaginary and real numbers, like say the number 4x(3i) is in the graph points, and is called complex number. How old are you?

Whatever u may say Guille but it is hard do believe that symbols have meanings. If we can plot doesn't it mean those are constant. If u must know how i did that just express any no. in the polar form or as (x+iy). multiply them but instead of multiplying with 0. u cross multiply it to the LHS. u will get either i=1/0 or i=0/0.

By the way u can ask my age i am i suppose 14 months elder to you. I know i am poor in maths. Though i like to learn somehow it doesn't get into my head.
