The simplified expression is 5i + 1/2.

To simplify the expression (-5+i)/(2i), we need to rationalize the denominator.

To do this, we multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is -2i.

This gives us (-5+i)(-2i)/(2i)(-2i) = (10i - 2i^2)/(-4i^2) = (10i + 2)/4 = 5i + 1/2.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 5i + 1/2.

The probable question may be:

Simplify the expression:

(-5+i/2i)
