Vectors that go in different directions are called orthogonal vectors. This means that the vectors are perpendicular to each other, with a 90 degree angle between them.
The term for vectors that don't lie in a straight line but point in different directions is "non-collinear vectors."
The term for vectors pointing in different directions is called linearly independent vectors. These vectors do not lie on the same line or plane, and they provide unique information to describe a space.
Non-collinear vectors.
The term given to the net figure that results from vector addition is the resultant vector. It represents the combination of all individual vectors' magnitudes and directions.
The resultant of two vectors cannot be a scalar quantity.

Non-collinear vectors.
The term collinear is used to describe vectors which are scalar multiples of one another (they are parallel; can have different magnitudes in the same or opposite direction). The term coplanar is used to describe vectors in at least 3-space. Coplanar vectors are three or more vectors that lie in the same plane (any 2-D flat surface).
