Zechariah · Answer 1

The real terms must be equal and the imaginary terms must be equal.

x = - 4

yi = 3i

y = 3

So we have:

x = - 4 and y = 3

Justine Rocha · Answer 2

For any equation

a+bi=c+di

the real and imaginary parts must be equal

in other words, a=c and b=d

-4+yi=x+3i

therefor

-4=x

yi=3i

y=3

x=-4

y=3

(-4,3)
