Every line on the graph is 1/2 unit.
When y = 0, x would be -0.25 and 1.25
When y = 2, x would be -0.5 and 1.5
20.25-9(1/2)+11
=20.25-4.5+11
=26.75
Recall that the direction of a vector can be seen from its slope, namely b/a.
let's take a peek at a couple of vectors, and multiply them by a scalar of 2.
hmmm say < 3 , 7 > , it has a slope of 7/3, now if we use a scalar of 2
2<3,7> => < 6 , 14 >, now, the slope of that is 14/6 which simplifies to, yeap, you guessed it, to 7/3, no change in the slope.
and say hmmmm < 11 , -2 >, slope of -2/11, let's multiply it by 2
2<11,-2> => <22 , -4 >, slope is -4/22 which simplifies to -2/11.
so, the vector's magnitude gets blown up, but the slope remains the same.
