They said parallel to x axis. (1,0,0) is the simplest vector that goes in the direction of x axis. It's a unit vector as well so that's why I chose it. You can choose any vector in the form (s, 0,0), and it will be parallel to x axis.

so if its parallel to y axis then its 0,s,0?

I have never seen this method before.. Can it be done by diagram?
Yes you can make diagrams and solve by coordinate geometry as well.
The first condition specifies a set of points that make a slope of 1/sqrt(3). It also has y intercept of 2. So the equation will be y = 1/sqrt(3) *x + 2.
The second condition specifies a set of points that are equidistant from (0,3) and (3,0). The line will be a perpendicular bisector of the line that joins these two points. You'll find that this equation is the line y=x

By solving these two equations simultaneously, you can find the real and imaginary part of P and proceed to convert the complex number into the required form.

A note about the other method I sent as an attachment, where I wrote "tan" it should have been tan^-1 (INVERSE TAN)

Don't know for sure, but may be it means that Population follows a normal distribution :p
I had a question in my stats-2 paper today, why is sample mean normally distributed. The real answer was coz population is normal, but I wrote that coz sample has continuous data or unbiased data.. Will this be give correct?
Thanks.
