Family of vectors/Scaling/Generating system and linearly independent/Exercise

Let ${}K$ be a field, let ${}V$ be a ${}K$-vector space, and let ${}v_{i}$, ${}i\in I$, be a family of vectors in ${}V$. Let Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "http://localhost:6011/en.wikiversity.org/v1/":): {\displaystyle {{}} \lambda_i} , ${}i\in I$, be a family of elements ${}\neq 0$ in ${}K$. Prove that the family ${}v_{i}$, ${}i\in I$, is linearly independent (a system of generators of ${}V$, a basis of ${}V$), if and only if the same holds for the family ${}\lambda _{i}v_{i}$, ${}i\in I$.
