#-2+sqrt5i#

Explanation:

Given a complex number #z=a+-bi#

Then the complex conjugate #barz# is

#color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(barz=a∓bi)color(white)(a/a)|)))#

Note that the real part , remains unchanged while the #color(red)"sign"# of the imaginary part reverses.

Thus the conjugate is #-2+sqrt5i#
