when a scaler quantity is multiplied by a vector then resultant is scaler or vector?

When a vector is multiplied by a scalar quantity, then the magnitude of the vector changes in accordance with the magnitude of the scalar but the direction of the vector remains unchanged.

Suppose we have a vector →a, then if this vector is multiplied by a scalar quantity k then we get a new vector with magnitude as |−→ka |and the direction remains same as the vector →a if  k is positive and if  k is negative then the direction of kbecomes just opposite of the direction of vector →a .
