SUMMARY
The locus in the complex plane that satisfies the equation z - c = p(1 + it)/(1 - it) is indeed a circle centered at the complex number c. The radius of this circle is determined by the real parameter p, which scales the unit circle defined by the expression (1 + it)/(1 - it). Proper notation is crucial; parentheses must be used to avoid ambiguity in the equation, ensuring clarity in mathematical expressions.
