**Order of the Matrix is given by ** $(2, 3)$

Matrices are defined as a rectangular arrangement of numbers.

Since it is rectangular group(also known as an array), we can say that it is 2-dimensional.

The two dimensions here are the number of rows (m) and the number of columns (n) respectively.

Order of a Matrix tells us how many rows and columns are there in our Matrix.

If we call our Matrix $A,$ and we have $color(red)m$ rows and $color(red)n$ columns then we can write our matrix $color(red)A$ as

$color(blue)(A_(m xx n))$

In this case, Order of the Matrix is $color(blue)((m xx n))$

The given Matrix has ..

**Rows = ** $2$

**Columns = ** $3$

Hence,

**Order of our Matrix is given by ** $(2, 3)$

I hope you find this useful.
