Concept:
The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality says
\[
|(\alpha,\beta)|\leq \|\alpha\|\|\beta\|
\]
Equality holds if and only if \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are linearly dependent.
Step 1: Given condition.
The vectors
\[
\alpha,\quad \beta
\]
are linearly dependent.
Therefore, one vector is a scalar multiple of the other.
\[
\beta=k\alpha
\]
Step 2: Use equality condition of Cauchy-Schwarz.
For linearly dependent vectors,
\[
|(\alpha,\beta)|=\|\alpha\|\|\beta\|
\]
Step 3: Final answer.
\[
\boxed{|(\alpha,\beta)|=\|\alpha\|\|\beta\|}
\]
