Abstract

The article focuses on the graphical representation of complex solutions of the quadratic equation in the xy plane. The imaginary portion of the complex solution can be represented on the xy-plane by drawing a line tangent to the parabola at a point and passing through a point on the x-axis directly above/below the vertex of the parabola. The conjugate of the complex solution can found by drawing the line from tangent to the parabola a the point on the parabola.
