vectors multiple and parallel rule.

361 Views Asked by At

if two vectors such as AB and CD are parallel then AB/CD = m . where "m" is a scalar multiple. then is it necessary that the "m" should belong to R\0..? and if those vectors are not parallel then CAN'T one be expressed as another's scalar multiple?

two vectors are parallel if there exist a real constant $\alpha$ such that $$AB=\alpha CD$$
