Think of imaginary numbers on a complex plane as coordinates - take the real part, that's the x coordinate, the imaginary part that's the y coordinate.

Therefore, for the first blank, -1+3i lies in the shaded area, because its coordinates are (-1,3).
And following on from that for the second one, -4i does not lie in the shaded area, since its coordinates are (0,-4).

Tl;dr is taking a complex number a+bi and placing it on a complex plane, it will have coordinates (a,b)
