an imaginary number is imaginary so no (i guess) this answer kind of sucks

If a number is pure imaginary then it has no real component. If it is a real number, then there is no imaginary component. If it has both real and imaginary components, then it is a complex number.
Since a Complex number has a real component and an imaginary component, it would be like trying to divide z / (2x + 3y)
No. A complex number consists of a real part and a imaginary part. If the real part equals zero, there is only the imaginary left and you could therefor argue that it is an imaginary number (or else it would still be a complex number -with a real part=0)
True. Complex numbers have a real part and an imaginary part. If either one of these is zero, the complex number will be a pure real or a pure imaginary.
A pure imaginary number is a complex number that has 0 for its real part, such as 0+7i.
