As a point on the positive part (right hand side) of the Real axis at 6 units from the origin.

Explanation:

The Complex numbers are representable by a plane with Real numbers forming the x-axis and pure imaginary numbers forming the y-axis. The origin represents 0.

So any Real number will be found somewhere on the x-axis, with positive numbers to the right and negative numbers to the left.

graph{(x-6)^2+y^2-0.01 = 0 [-7.625, 12.375, -5.08, 4.92]}

Any Complex number can be split into Real and imaginary parts. The Real part forms the x coordinate and the imaginary part the y coordinate.

Conversely, any point (x, y) on the plane corresponds to a Complex number x+yi
