Answer

$\dfrac{7-2i}{5}$

Work Step by Step

Multiplying the denominator by $i$, the given expression, $ \dfrac{2+7i}{5i} ,$ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{2+7i}{5i}\cdot\dfrac{i}{i} \\\\= \dfrac{2(i)+7i(i)}{5i^2} \\\\= \dfrac{2i+7i^2}{5i^2} \\\\= \dfrac{2i+7(-1)}{5(-1)} \\\\= \dfrac{2i-7}{-5} \\\\= -\dfrac{2i-7}{5} \\\\= \dfrac{7-2i}{5} .\end{array}
