statistical question (somewhat obscure)

The spatial plot for a principal components/factor analysis plots component
1 and 2 (etc). What would only one component look like:

1. a straight line with elements and constructs arranged from highest + to
highest - , or

2. a straight line with elements and constructs perpendicular to the
straight arranged from highest + to highest - ,or?

Any advice is appreciated,

Bob Green
