The line from z=0 to z=2i is the same as the line from(0,0) to(0,2) for
which x=0,dx=0 and the line integral equals

Again the line from z=2i to z=4+2i is the same as the line from(0,2)
to(4,2) for which y=2,dy=0 and the line integral equals

[∵ 𝐨𝐧 𝐱 − 𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐬 𝐳 = 𝐱 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐀𝐁, 𝐳 = 𝟏 + 𝐢𝐲 ⇒ 𝐝𝐳 = 𝐢𝐝𝐲]
