Find all the real values r, x, y. $\displaystyle A \varepsilon \mu (2x2) , A= \begin{Bmatrix} -2 & 4\\ 4 & -3\end{Bmatrix}$ Find all the real values r, x, y for: 1. $\displaystyle |A-rI|=0$ 2. $\displaystyle (A-rI)\binom{x}{y}=0$ How do I proceed?

What is the determinant of that? $\displaystyle (A- rI)\begin{pmatrix}x \\ y \end{pmatrix}= \begin{pmatrix}-2- r & 4 \\ 4 & -3- r\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}x \\ y \end{pmatrix}= \begin{pmatrix}(-2- r)x+ 4y \\ 4x+ (-3- r)y\end{pmatrix}$
