    You find the complex conjugate simply by changing the sign of the imaginary part of the complex number.
    Thus the complex conjugate of 2+3i is 2 - 3i.
    By using the x axis as the real number line and the y axis as the imaginary number line you can plot the value as you would (x,y)

    do not use term "becomes:

    if you have complex number 2+3i, its conjugate is 2-3i

    Ok. However, my answer for each one is correct.

    Yes?
