Here's the main ideas relating linear and affine (in)dependence: Let $\mathbf p_i\in\mathbb{R}^d$ be points in a real space. Reminder of linear (in)dependence. As a brief reminder about linear (in)dependence: the points are linearly dependent iff there's not-all-zero coefficients $\alpha_i$ such that $\sum_i \alpha_i \mathbf p_i=0$. More @Wikipedia
