Try with Hints


Simplify the Complex. Just Solve.

Let \(z = x+iy, \bar{z} = x-iy\) Then the given equation reduces to \((13x-9y+100)+i(5x-7y) = 0\).
Which implies \(13x-9y+100 = 0, 5x-7y = 0\).
They do intersect.(?)

Yes! they intersect and to get the point of intersection just use substitution . Hence it gives a pair of intersecting straight lines.
