What is the imaginary part of the multiplicative inverse of the complex number 6 - 5i?

A
5/61
B
6/61
C
-5/61
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The multiplicative inverse of a complex number a + bi is given by (a - bi) / (a^2 + b^2). For 6 - 5i, the inverse is (6 + 5i) / (6^2 + (-5)^2) = (6 + 5i) / 61. The imaginary part is therefore 5/61.
