The complex modulus is a nonnegative real number. Equality therefore requires itself to be real and nonnegative. Its imaginary part gives , and its real part then gives . Conversely every such point satisfies the equality. Hence the complete solution set is
Geometrically this is the closed ray on the real axis starting at .
