Question: Using the fact that |z1 z2| is the distance between two points z1 and z2, give a geometric argument that (a) |z 4i|

Using the fact that |z1 − z2| is the distance between two points z1 and z2, give a geometric argument that
(a) |z − 4i| + |z + 4i| = 10 represents an ellipse whose foci are (0, ± 4);
(b) |z − 1| = |z + i| represents the line through the origin whose slope is −1.
