-5i can be written as 0 + (-5)i
It is in the form a+bi where a = 0 and b =-5
So the point (a,b) is (0,-5)
The distance from the origin to this point is 5 units, therefore r = 5. This is the magnitude.
The angle is 270 degrees as shown in the attached image. You start on the positive x axis and rotate until you reach the point (0,-5)
This is why the answer is choice A) 5(cos(270) + i*sin(270))
