Step 1:

You find the complex conjugate simply by changing the sign of the imaginary part of the complex number. To find the complex conjugate of 4+7i we change the sign of the imaginary part. Thus the complex conjugate of 4+7i is 4 - 7i.

Step 2:

Conjugate of −5−2i = -5 + 2i

Final answer

-5 + 2i
