Default Cartesian equation
I need help to find the cartesian equation for the region represented by

| z−2+i | = 1/5 | z−8−3 i |

The question asks me to do the following:Please put your answer in a "natural" form. If you haven't already done so, complete the square for the terms in x and complete the square for the terms in y, and hence deduce that the locus of points satisfied by the relation is associated with a circle. What is the centre of that circle?
Any help thanks in advance .
