Abstract: Pseudo-Euclidean metrical properties may be superimposed on the complex plane by determining the commutative operation of complex pseudo-Euclidean multiplication of vectors. This operation does not ensure real positive value of the complex pseudo-Euclidean square of vector, but the first component of complex pseudo-Euclidean product of any vectors is identified with the scalar pseudo-Euclidean product of these vectors, that allows to apply the ordinary formulae as axiomatic definitions for length and angle. Thus we reveal that pseudo-Euclidean metrical properties of the plane are bound with the complex linear relations between its vectors.
