A complex number is thus speci ed by two real numbers, a and b, and therefore it is convenient to think of it as a twodimensional vector, plotting the real part on the xaxis, and the imaginary part on the yaxis. One can easily do that in a complex plane using a cartesian coordinate system, where the x axis is the real axis and the y axis is the imaginary axis.
