Answer:

The conjugate will be -1 + 5i

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:


-1\text{ - 5i}

To find:

the conjugate of the above complex number

A complex number is in the form: a + bi

The conjugate of the complex number is a - bi

When the complex number is -1 - 5i, where a = -1, b = -5i

The conjugate will negate the value of b

a will be -1 while b = -(-5i) = 5i

The conjugate will be -1 + 5i
