If the complex numbers z1, z2 and z3 satisfying z1-z3/z2-z3=1-iroot3/2 then triangle is (a) an equilateral triangle (b) a right angles triangle (c) an acute angled triangle (d) an obtuse angled isosceles triangle. Please give me step by step solution.

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

We havez1-z3z2-z3=1-i321-i32=122+-322=14+34=1arg1-i32=tan-'-3212=-tan-13=-π3z1-z3z2-z3=ei-π3z1-z3=z2-z3ei-π3 ;iBy standard equation of rotation we have,q-pq-p=r-pr-pe , where p,q,r are complex numbers.Hence comparing it with i, we get,z1-z3=z2-z3Side z1-z3 of the triangle is obtained by rotating side z2-z3 of the triangle inclockwise direction by an angle of π3, and also length of sides z1-z3 and  z2-z3 areequal As z1-z3=z2-z3.z1,z2,z3 represents vertices of an equilateral triangle.Hence optiona is correct.
