The only problem is that the bottom one goes in the opposite direction to the top, as there’s only one pivot. I imagine an actual engineer will know many more, superior solutions.
You could do this with gears:
Input 1 is connected to gear A
Output 2 is connected to gear B
Gear A and B and connected, and B has 5x the amount of teeth that A does. So any movement of 1 will result in 2 moving 5x as much.

m is that the bottom one goes in the opposite direction to the top, as there’s only one pivot.
You can rearrange the same number of articulation points to give an output in the same direction as the input, or by using a bell crank instead of a straight link in any arbitrary direction between the two

Ok, so because the pivot point is not central the top bit moves more.
That's pretty clever. You should patent that
