complex plane
The complex plane, also known as the Argand plane, is a geometric representation of complex numbers using a two-dimensional coordinate system. It consists of a horizontal x-axis representing the real numbers and a vertical y-axis for representing the imaginary numbers. This plane allows for visualizing and performing mathematical operations on complex numbers, helping to analyze their properties and relationships.
