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.

The span of two arbitrary vectors v and w that do not lie on the same line is the entire 2D plane. This is achieved by taking all possible linear combinations av+bw where scalars a and b vary continuously across all real numbers.
Conditions: Two vectors v and w are nonzero; Vectors v and w are non-collinear (point in different directions)
