A geographic
example may
help to clarify
the concept of
linear
independence. A
person
describing the
location of a
certain place
might say, "It is
3 miles north
and 4 miles
eastof here."
This is
sufficient
information to
describe the
location,
because the
geographic
coordinate
system may be
considered as a
2-dimensional

vector space .
The person
might add, "The
place is 5 miles
northeast of
here." Although
this last
statement is
true, it is not
necessary.
In this example
the "3 miles
north" vector
and the "4 miles
east" vector are
linearly
independent.
That is to say,
the north vector
cannot be
described in
terms of the east
vector, and vice
versa. The third
"5 miles
northeast"
vector is a linear
combination of
the other two
vectors, and it
makes the set of
vectors linearly
dependent, that
is, one of the
three vectors is
unnecessary.
