Affine space/Finite point family/Affinely independent/Characterization/Fact
Appearance
Let be an affine space over a -vector space , and let
denote a finite family of points in . Then the following statements are equivalent.
- The points are affinely independent.
- For every
,
the family of vectors
- There exists some
such that the family of vectors
is linearly independent.
- The points form an affine basis in the affine subspace generated by them.
