6. The transformation \(T\) maps points from the \(z\)-plane, where \(z = x + \mathrm{i}y\), to the \(w\)-plane, where \(w = u + \mathrm{i}v\).

The transformation \(T\) is given by \[w = \frac{z}{\mathrm{i}z + 1}, \quad z \neq \mathrm{i}\]

The transformation \(T\) maps the line \(l\) in the \(z\)-plane onto the line with equation \(v = -1\) in the \(w\)-plane.

(a) Find a cartesian equation of \(l\) in terms of \(x\) and \(y\). (5)

The transformation \(T\) maps the line with equation \(y = \dfrac{1}{2}\) in the \(z\)-plane onto the curve \(C\) in the \(w\)-plane.

(b)
(i) Show that \(C\) is a circle with centre the origin.
(ii) Write down a cartesian equation of \(C\) in terms of \(u\) and \(v\). (6)
