`-6 + 8i` Plot the complex number and find its absolute value.

The absolute value of a complex number `z = a + b*i` is `|z| = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)` . According to this formula, you need to determine a and b, such that:


`a = -6, b = 8`


`|z| = sqrt((-6)^2 + 8^2)`


`|z| = sqrt(36 + 64)`


`|z| = sqrt 100`


`|z| = 10`


Hence, the distance of the complex number `z = -6 + 8i` from the origin is given by its absolute...

In the Argand diagram, the complex number` z = -6 + 8i` is the point `(-6,8)` or the vector from the origin to the point `(-6,8)` .
