Although you wrote\[-6+\frac{ i }{ -5 }+i\]I assume you meant\[\frac{ -6+i }{ -5+i }\] Use the sandard trick for dividing complex numbers:\[\frac{ a+bi }{ c+di }=\frac{ a+bi }{ c+di }\cdot \frac{ c-di }{ c-di }\] Why? Because you don't want i in the denominator. Looking at the denominators, they give:\[(c+di)(c-di)=c^2-(di)^2=c^2-d^2i^2\] Now that is where i²=-1 comes in! So the new denominator is c² + d² Try this with the numbers of your problem...
