Plot eigenvectors of a square matrix in Matlab

17 views (last 30 days)
Let's have a square matrix [1 0; -4 5]. The eigenvectors are [ 0; 1] and [0.7071; 0.7071]. I need to plot these eigenvectors correctly.
A = [1 0; -4 5];
[Eig_vector Eig_value] = eig(A);
  • Here, can we get a correct plot by using plot(Eig_vector)?
  • Or once I have any eigenvector (x; y), by setting origin (inital coordinates) of the vector arbitrarily, should I calculate the last coordinates of the vector and then plot(x(0), eigenvector(x), y(0), eigenvector(y))?

but, how Matlab defines the initial points of the eigenvectors, where do they begin?
