Answer

$\dfrac{-3+5i}{15i}=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{5}i$

Work Step by Step

$\dfrac{-3+5i}{15i}$ Multiply the fraction by $\dfrac{-15i}{-15i}$: $\Big(\dfrac{-3+5i}{15i}\Big)\Big(\dfrac{-15i}{-15i}\Big)=\dfrac{45i-75i^{2}}{-225i^{2}}=...$ Substitute $i^{2}$ with $-1$: $...=\dfrac{-75(-1)+45i}{-225(-1)}=\dfrac{75+45i}{225}=\dfrac{75}{225}+\dfrac{45}{225}i=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{5}i$
