∣−1+2i∣=(√5) and −1+2i=(√5)(((−1)/(√5)) +i(2/(√5)))=r e^(iθ) ⇒  r=(√5) and cosθ= ((−1)/(√5)) and sinθ =(2/(√5)) ⇒tanθ =−2  ⇒θ=−actan2  ∣1−3i∣=(√(10))  and 1−3i=(√(10))((1/(√(10))) −(3/(√(10))) i)=r e^(iϕ)   ⇒ r=(√(10)) and cosϕ =(1/(√(10))) and sinϕ=−(3/(√(10)))  ⇒tanϕ=−3 ⇒ ϕ=−arctan3 so   Arg(((−1+2i)/(1−3i)))≡θ −ϕ [2π] ≡ arctan3 −arctan2 [2π] .

$$\mid−\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}{i}\mid=\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\:{and}\:−\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}{i}=\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\left(\frac{−\mathrm{1}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}}\:+{i}\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}}\right)={r}\:{e}^{{i}\theta} \Rightarrow \\ $$$${r}=\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\:{and}\:{cos}\theta=\:\frac{−\mathrm{1}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}}\:{and}\:{sin}\theta\:=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}}\:\Rightarrow{tan}\theta\:=−\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\theta=−{actan}\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mid\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{3}{i}\mid=\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}\:\:{and}\:\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{3}{i}=\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}}\:−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}}\:{i}\right)={r}\:{e}^{{i}\varphi} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{r}=\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}\:{and}\:{cos}\varphi\:=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}}\:{and}\:{sin}\varphi=−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{tan}\varphi=−\mathrm{3}\:\Rightarrow\:\varphi=−{arctan}\mathrm{3}\:{so}\: \\ $$$${Arg}\left(\frac{−\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}{i}}{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{3}{i}}\right)\equiv\theta\:−\varphi\:\left[\mathrm{2}\pi\right]\:\equiv\:{arctan}\mathrm{3}\:−{arctan}\mathrm{2}\:\left[\mathrm{2}\pi\right]\:. \\ $$
