Linearly independent/System of linear equations/Remark

The vectors ${\displaystyle {}v_{1}={\begin{pmatrix}a_{11}\\\vdots \\a_{m1}\end{pmatrix}},\ldots ,v_{n}={\begin{pmatrix}a_{1n}\\\vdots \\a_{mn}\end{pmatrix}}\in K^{m}}$ are linearly dependent if and only if the homogeneous linear system

${\displaystyle {\begin{matrix}a_{11}x_{1}+a_{12}x_{2}+\cdots +a_{1n}x_{n}&=&0\\a_{21}x_{1}+a_{22}x_{2}+\cdots +a_{2n}x_{n}&=&0\\\vdots &\vdots &\vdots \\a_{m1}x_{1}+a_{m2}x_{2}+\cdots +a_{mn}x_{n}&=&0\end{matrix}}}$

has a nontrivial solution.
