I am using:
A= [-5, 2; 2, -2];
[EigVec, EigVal] = eig(A)
If I use Wolfram, I obtain Eigen Vectors = [1,2;1, -0.5]. Similarly, how can I get MatLab to scale it to 1?

I answered this identical question before. You cannot get MATLAB to magically scale them as you desire. However, you can DIVIDE EACH VECTOR BY THE FIRST ELEMENT OF THAT VECTOR. Just do the scaling yourself. Take care that the first element is not zero.

I love questions like this... As I am always confused?
Maybe it is the way you are setting it up in Wolfram but if you have the symbolic toolbox in Matlab you can use this....
>> A= sym([-5 2; 2 -2])
A =
[ -5, 2] [ 2, -2]
>> [EigVec, EigVal] = eig(A)
EigVec =
[ -2, 1/2] [ 1, 1]
EigVal =
[ -6, 0] [ 0, -1]
So you get something close to what you wanted?
Try something like this in Maple....
A := Matrix([[-5, 2], [2, -2]])
Eigenvectors(A)
Vector(2, {(1) = -1, (2) = -6}), Matrix(2, 2, {(1, 1) = 1/2, (1, 2) = -2, (2, 1) = 1, (2, 2) = 1})
So Matlab's Symbolic toolbox and Maple are reversing the signs which I don't think is a big deal and of course they put things in different spots... Again not a big deal but it just makes you wonder? Or not.
