Hi,

the direction field is plotted by:

dir[x_, y_] := Normalize[{1, 2 x - y}]

VectorPlot[dir[x, y], {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}]

The velocity field:

vel[x_, y_] := {1, 2 x - y}

VectorPlot[vel[x, y], {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}]

The stream field:

vel[x_, y_] := {1, 2 x - y}

StreamPlot[vel[x, y], {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}]

hope this helps, Daniel
