A hyperplane in n-dimensional space is defined by the set of vectors Xv = (x 1,..., x n) that satisfy a linear function of the form a 1 x 1 + ... + a n x n = bv for given numbers a j and b. This can be written as axv = b, av = (a 1,..., a n). For n = 2, the function defines a line, and for n = 3, the function defines a plane.
