Irreducible Linear Subspace

837 Views Asked by At

Let k be an infinite field. Prove that any linear subspace of $A_k^n$ is irreducible.

My first question is, what would a linear subspace be? Is is a variety that is generated by linear equations?

Then, if this is the case, can we say that the ideals that generate them are prime, and therefore the varieties are irreducible (but maybe that needs algebraic closure?)?
