Find the determinant of the matrix [[-4, -5], [-2, 3]].
Note
For a 2×2 matrix, calculate the determinant by multiplying the main diagonal and subtracting the other diagonal. Be careful with negative numbers while doing the subtraction. For a 2×2 matrix [[a,b],[c,d]], determinant is ad-bc. Here det=-4(3)+ 5(-2)=-22. The final determinant is the value obtained after this diagonal calculation.
