write the complex number -5 in polar form.

I don't get how to do this because arctan of b/a would be 5/0 which is a fraction with no solution. Also, is a zero? Sorry if I'm being confusing! Thank you!

arc tan of 5/0 might be arc tan 90 degrees ? Draw y value of 5 and x value of almost 0 and look at the angle :)
