Answer

The matrix $A$ is not orthogonal.

Work Step by Step

Let the matrix be $A=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1&-1\\ -1&-1 \end{array}\right]$ Then: $|A|=-2$ We have: $A^{T}=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1&-1\\ -1&-1 \end{array}\right]$ and $A^{-1}= (-1/2)* \left[\begin{array}{cc} -1&1\\ 1&1 \end{array}\right]=(1/2)* \left[\begin{array}{cc} 1&-1\\ -1&-1 \end{array}\right] =(1/2)* A^{T} \neq A^{T}$ Thus the matrix $A$ is not orthogonal.
