You can put this solution on YOUR website!
An eigenvalue is a number (a scalar in math terms), an eigenvector is a vector coupled to that number.

For thorough videos and a good explanation, do a search on "eigenvalue khan academy".
It'll be much more thorough than I could possibly do here.
Good luck!
