Answer

$\frac{24}{25}$

Work Step by Step

Given that $\sin A =\frac{-3}{5}$ and A is in quadrant 3 In Quadrant 3; $\cos A $ is negative. $\cos A $ = -$\sqrt {1-\sin^{2}A}$ $\cos A $ = -$\sqrt {1-(\frac{3}{5})^{2}}$ $\cos A $ = -$\sqrt {1-(\frac{9}{25}}$ $\cos A $ = -$\sqrt {\frac{16}{25}}$ $\cos A $ = -$\frac{4}{5}$ $\sin 2A$ = 2 $\sin A \cos A$ Plug in $\sin A $ and $ \cos A $ values in above equation we get $\sin 2A$ = $2 \times\frac{-3}{5}\times\frac{-4}{5}$ $\sin 2A$ = $\frac{24}{25}$
