Problem:
I'm searching for examples of using scipy.optimize.line_search. I do not really understand how this function works with multivariable functions. I wrote a simple example
import scipy as sp
import scipy.optimize
def test_func(x):
    return (x[0])**2+(x[1])**2

def test_grad(x):
    return [2*x[0],2*x[1]]

sp.optimize.line_search(test_func,test_grad,[1.8,1.7],[-1.0,-1.0])
And I've got
File "D:\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\scipy\optimize\linesearch.py", line 259, in phi
return f(xk + alpha * pk, *args)
TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'
The result should be the alpha value of line_search
A:
<code>
import scipy
import scipy.optimize
import numpy as np
def test_func(x):
    return (x[0])**2+(x[1])**2

def test_grad(x):
    return [2*x[0],2*x[1]]
starting_point = [1.8, 1.7]
direction = [-1, -1]
</code>
result = ... # put solution in this variable
BEGIN SOLUTION
<code>
