Let ,
, ...,
be scalars not all equal to 0.
Then the set
consisting of all vectors
in such that
for a constant is a subspace
of
called a hyperplane.
More generally, a hyperplane is any codimension-1 vector subspace of a vector
space. Equivalently, a hyperplane in a vector space
is any subspace such that
is one-dimensional. Equivalently,
a hyperplane is the linear transformation
kernel of any nonzero linear map
from the vector space to the underlying field.
