I need to proof the following: When a homogeneous linear system has more variables than equations it has infinite solutions. I don't know where to start! Thank you for your help

At first remember that if $x$ is a solution of an homogeneous linear system, than also $\alpha x$ is (with $\alpha \in \mathbf{R}$).

Then for example the Gram Schmidt process describes how to find many orthogonal solutions, and you can exploit it to prove it.
