Explanation:

z_1 / z_2 = r_1/ r_2 (cos (theta_1 + thet_2) + i sin (theta_1 + theta_2)

z_1 = (-4 + i5), z_2 = (6 + i)

=> r_1 = sqrt(4^2 + 5^2) = sqrt41 = 6.4

theta_1 = tan^(-1) (5/-4)= -51.34^@ = 128.26^@, " II Quadrant"

=> r_2 = sqrt(1^2 + 6^2) = sqrt37 = 6.08

theta_2 = tan^(-1) (1/6)= 9.46^@

z_1 / z_2 = sqrt41/sqrt37 (cos (128.26 - 9.46) + i sin(128.26 - 9.46)0
