Answer

The graph is the line $x+y=0.$

Work Step by Step

$\begin{align*} \vert z+i\vert &= \vert z-1\vert \\ \vert (x+iy)+i\vert &= \vert (x+iy)-1\vert \\ \vert x +i(y+1)\vert &= \vert (x-1) +iy\vert \\ \sqrt{x^2 + (y+1)^2} &= \sqrt{(x-1)^2 + y^2} \\ x^2 + (y+1)^2 &= (x-1)^2 + y^2 \\ x^2+ y^2 + 2y + 1 &= x^2 -2x + 1 + y^2 \\ 2y &= -2x \\ 2x+2y &=0 \\ x+y &=0 \end{align*}$ The graph is the line $x+y=0.$
