The span of two nonzero, non-collinear vectors is the entire 2D plane. This means that by taking all possible linear combinations of these two vectors, you can reach any point in the plane.
Conditions: The two vectors are nonzero.; The two vectors are non-collinear (they do not lie on the same line).

Conditions: The two vectors are nonzero.; The two vectors are non-collinear (they do not lie on the same line).
A linear combination of two arbitrary non-collinear vectors v and w is formed by multiplying each vector by a scalar (a and b) and adding them together (av+bw). If both scalars are allowed to vary continuously across all real numbers, the tips of these combined vectors sweep out every possible point on the 2D plane.
Conditions: The two vectors v and w are non-collinear (point in different directions and do not lie on the same line).; The scalars a and b vary continuously across all real numbers.
