Equation of Circle
The equation of the circle whose centre is at the point $z_0$ and has radius $r$ is given by
$
\left|z-z_0\right|=r
$
If the center is origin then, $z_0=0$, hence equation reduces to $|z|=r$
Interior of the circle is represented by $\left|z-z_0\right|<r$
The exterior is represented by $\left|z-z_0\right|>r$
Here z can be represented as $\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{iy}$ and $z_0$ is represented by $x_0+i y_0$

Equation of Circle in second form
$\frac{\left|z-z_1\right|}{\left|z-z_2\right|}=k \quad(k \neq 1, k>0)$
This equation also represents a circle. This can be verified by putting z = x+iy, z1 = p+iq, z2 = a+ib
Equation of Ellipse
$\left|z-z_1\right|+\left|z-z_2\right|=k \quad\left(k>\left|z_1-z_2\right|\right)$
This represents an ellipse as the sum of distances of point z from z1 and z2 is constant, which is the locus of an ellipse.
Equation of Hyperbola
$\left|\left|z-z_1\right|-\left|z-z_2\right|\right|=k \quad\left(k<\left|z_1-z_2\right|\right)$
This represents a hyperbola as the difference of distances of point z from z1 and z2 is constant, which is the locus of a hyperbola.
Section Formula
The complex number z dividing z1 and z2 internally in ratio m: n is given by
$
\mathrm{z}=\frac{m z_2+n z_1}{m+n}
$
And
The complex number $z$ dividing $z_1$ and $z_2$ externally in ratio $m$ : $n$ is given by
$
\mathrm{z}=\frac{m z_2-n z_1}{m-n}
$
Centroid of the triangle with vertices z1, z2 and z3 is given by $\left(z_1+z_2+z_3\right) / 3$
