Detailed Solution

We observe that if z0 is a non – zero complex number and c is a real number, then the equation z¯0z+z0z¯+c=0 represents a straight line with complex slope z0z¯0  
Let L1α¯z+αz¯+c=0  and  L2:β¯z+βz¯+d=0 where α=(a,b)andβ=(p,q) are non –zero complex numbers. Then their cartesian equations are
ax+by+c2=0  and  px+qy+d2=0L1L2ap+bq=0αβ¯+α¯β=0 
αα¯+ββ=0μ1+μ2=0 where μ1=αα¯  and  μ2=ββ are the complex slopes of L1 and L2 respectively.
 L1L2aqbp=0αβ¯α¯β=0αα¯=ββ¯μ1=μ2
