interpret it as a system of equations

#

x_1 is free and x_2 must be 0

#

so an eigenvector looks like [x_1,0] in span([1,0])

#

that's the 1st one, yes

#

so x_2=0

#

and the other is just 0=0.. so you dont have any requirements for what x_1 is

#

so x_1 parameterizes what the eigenvector is

#

no

#

an eigenvector will be [x_1,x_2]=[x_1,0]
