.

Your starting equation is

    sin(A) = -cos(A)   and  you consider it in this diapason  -180° < A < 180°.


Divide both sides of the equation by cos(A).  You will get

    tan(A) = -1   and   -180° < A < 180°.


It has two solutions in the given interval  A = -45° and  A = 135°.    ANSWER

Solved, explained and completed.
