Perhaps use Euler's formula, which says that



Suppose we want to divide two arbitrary complex numbers (a+bi)/(c+di). If we suppose


(alpha, beta are the arguments of the complex numbers)

Then,



Graphing this number isn't too difficult. Here, we locate the complex number with argument alpha - beta and magnitude 1, then scale it by that coefficient on the left. That is the quotient of the two complex numbers.
