Let
x=\sqrt{\dfrac{1+z}{1-z}}
Then, x^2=\dfrac{1+z}{1-z}
Or
z=\dfrac{x^2-1}{x^2+1}
Since |z|=1, we get
|x^2-1|=|x^2+1|
That is x2 lies on the imaginary axis. So, x itself lies either on the line through the origin inclined to the real axis at 45° or 135°.

a nice way of lookin at it is through geometry see the figure and use the concept of rotation :))
