assuming you mean [tex]\frac{-5+i}{2i}[/tex]

and [tex]i=\sqrt{-1}[/tex]

recall that [tex]i^2=-1[/tex]

we want to get it into a+bi form


we can separate it into

[tex]\frac{-5}{2i}+\frac{i}{2i}[/tex]

this equals

[tex]\frac{-5}{2i}+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

we can multiply the first fraction by i/i to get

[tex]\frac{-5i}{2i^2}+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-5i}{2(-1)}+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-5i}{-2}+\frac{1}[2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5}{2}i+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

in a+bi form it is

[tex]\frac{1}{2}+\frac{5}{2}i[/tex]
