Thus, we have two real eigenvalues with different signs.
So the phase portrait has an unstable saddle point with trajectories moving towards the direction
of eigenvector with the positive eigenvalue.

When x = y then (x,y) is stable and (0,0) is also stable.
All trajectories move towards the line y = x.
Combining these two facts, we have
“All trajectories starting from (x,y) where x ≠ y move towards the line y = x along straight line with
gradient -1.” The phase portrait looks like II but with arrows towards y = x.
