Vector compass showing real and<br />

imaginary axes. The “real” axis of<br />

the graph corresponds to the<br />

familiar number line we saw earlier:<br />

the one with both positive and<br />

negative values on it. The<br />

“imaginary” axis of the graph<br />

corresponds to another number<br />

line situated at 90º to the “real”<br />

one. Vectors being twodimensional<br />

things, we must have<br />

a two-dimensional “map” upon<br />

which to express them, thus the<br />

two number lines perpendicular to<br />

each other: (Figure below)<br />
