Apr 24, 2020 at 0:06 comment added J. M.'s missing motivation Yes, that's good for matrices, but don't use that for vectors.
Apr 23, 2020 at 23:45 comment added Neil_P I'm using ctr+Enter and ctr+, to make a matrix within Mathematica, and passing the values that way. I haven't seen the link you sent, thank you for the info.
Apr 23, 2020 at 18:41 comment added J. M.'s missing motivation With[{m = {{4, 5}, {-2, 6}}, v = {1 - 3 I, 2}}, MatrixRank[{m.v, v}] == 1] gives True. Also, why are you inputting eigenvectors in a format like {{1 - 3 I}, {2}}? Have you already seen this?
Apr 23, 2020 at 18:27 comment added Neil_P @J.M., Actually, with some more experimenting (and more Diffeq homework), Carl Woll's answer doesn't work for the matrix {{4, 5},{-2, 6}} with the eigenvector{{1 - 3:ii:},{2}}. It doesn't seem to work with any vector with complex eigenvectors

Apr 17, 2020 at 3:58 comment added J. M.'s missing motivation If you think about it, the rank of a matrix ought to be the same whether transposed or not. Can you give an example of a matrix-vector pair where Carl's version fails, but yours works?
