Answer:

-3

Explanation:

For a 2 by 2 matrices such as B = [a b c d], the determinant is expressed as;

ad - bc

Given the matrices

[A] = [5 -4 3 -3]

Determinant of A = 5 (-3) - -4(3) (if you compare with the original matrices)

Determinant of A = -15 + 12

Determinant of A =-3

Hence the Determinant of A is -3
