gollark: So |z+7| is distance to -7, and |z-1| is distance to 1.

gollark: If you remember transformations of things at all, then the + 7 inside the || is equivalent to translating everything in the direction of negative real component by 7, so it is now the distance from the point (-7, 0) aka -7 instead.
