Different vectors are affected differently when multiplied by a given matrix. If the vector being multiplied by the matrix happens to be an eigenvector, the result vector is a vector in the same (or opposite) direction, scaled by the value of the eigenvalue associated with this eigenvector.
 
Let a matrix
1 1
1 1
If we multiply all the points/vectors in a plane with this matrix, what will be the resultant?

What happens if you try some examples? Can you show us a few examples that you have worked out?
