The locus of the point $z=x+i y$ satisfying $\left|\frac{z-2 i}{z+2 i}\right|=1$ is
The locus of the point $z=x+i y$ satisfying
$\left|\frac{z-2 i}{z+2 i}\right|=1$ is
- $x$-axis
- $y$-axis
- $y=2$
- $x=2$
Solution
$\begin{aligned} & \text { Given, }\left|\frac{z-2 i}{z+2 i}\right|=1 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{|x+i y-2 i|}{|x+i y+2 i|}=1\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2}=\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2} \\ & \Rightarrow x^2+y^2+4-4 y=x^2+y^2+4+4 y \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 8 y=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad y=0 \quad \text { ie, } x \text {-axis. } \\ & \end{aligned}$
