You want to start out with ##\left( z-w \right) e^{i \theta}##. No absolute value! Now just put in what ##w## and ##\theta## are.

I'm not sure what part of that is supposed to be the answer. The answer is ##f(z)=\left( z-w \right) e^{i \theta}+w##. You seem to know ##w=i## and ##e^{i \pi/2}=i##. Just put those values in! Then try to express it in the form ##f(z)=az+b##.
