The Q. is to sketch the region formed by this expression --> arg(z + 2 - 3i) = π / 6.

Let z = x + iy...

arg( x+2 + i(y-3) = pi/6 right?

now arctan[(y-3)/(x+2)] = pi/6

(y-3)/(x+2) = 1/(root3)

note that x =/= -3

y = 3 + 1/root3 (x+2)

when x= -2, y = 3 (i.e. (-2,3) is a hollow point)

and its a line having a an argument of pi/6 to the horizontal line y =3

you realise in the exam they are not going to give you marks on the line expression.

just poing an empty dot on (-2,3) and draw a line with pi/6 degree above the horizontal line
