How does multiplying a vector by a scalar value of 2x change the vector?

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.

4.2 would be an example, but there are many more. Honestly, it wouldn't matter as long as it was less than 6.73.
