Recall that
represents the vector from
to
.
is the angle that this makes with the positive real axis.
Draw an Argand diagram and mark on it the points
and
.
Now imagine a variable point
moving around the diagram. We want to find the values of
for which the vectors
and
are parallel and facing the same way.
For the second one we can interpret it as finding all
for which an angle equivalent to
is obtained by subtracting the arguments of the vector
from
.
