Let us write the two complex numbers in polar coordinates and let them be
z_1=r_1(cosalpha+isinalpha) and z_2=r_2(cosbeta+isinbeta)
Here, if two complex numbers are a_1+ib_1 and a_2+ib_2 r_1=sqrt(a_1^2+b_1^2), r_2=sqrt(a_2^2+b_2^2) and alpha=tan^(-1)(b_1/a_1), beta=tan^(-1)(b_2/a_2)
Their division leads us to
{r_1/r_2}{(cosalpha+isinalpha)/(cosbeta+isinbeta)} or
{r_1/r_2}{(cosalpha+isinalpha)/(cosbeta+isinbeta)xx(cosbeta-isinbeta)/(cosbeta-isinbeta)}
(r_1/r_2){(cosalphacosbeta+sinalphasinbeta)+i(sinalphacosbeta-cosalphasinbeta))/((cos^2beta+sin^2beta)) or
(r_1/r_2)*(cos(alpha-beta)+isin(alpha-beta)) or
z_1/z_2 is given by (r_1/r_2, (alpha-beta))
So for division complex number z_1 by z_2 , take new angle as (alpha-beta) and modulus the ratio r_1/r_2 of the modulus of two numbers.
Here 2i-7 or -7+2i can be written as r_1(cosalpha+isinalpha) where r_1=sqrt((-7)^2+2^2)=sqrt53 and alpha=tan^(-1)(-2/7)
and -5i+8 or 8-5i can be written as r_2(cosbeta+isinbeta) where r_2=sqrt(5^2+8^2)=sqrt89 and beta=tan^(-1)(-5/8)
and z_1/z_2=sqrt53/(sqrt89)(costheta+isintheta), where theta=alpha-beta
Hence, tantheta=tan(alpha-beta)=(tanalpha-tanbeta)/(1+tanalphatanbeta)=((-2/7)-(-5/8))/(1+(-2/7)xx(-5/8))=(19/56)/(66/56)=-19/66.
Hence, (2i-7)/(-5i+8)=sqrt53/sqrt89(costheta+isintheta)
= 0.7717(costheta+isintheta), where theta=tan^(-1)(19/66)
