Why is the subspace associated with the affine set for a set of linear equations the null space?
Post Body

I'm reading my optimization textbook, and it's going over affine sets. It gives an example where it proves that the solution set of a system of lienar equations is an affine set. After doing so, it says that the "subspace associated with the affine set is the nullspace".

My question is: why is the nullspace the set associated with it? How do they know they? And why does that matter?

Here's a link to the full question: https://imgur.com/gallery/affine-sets-linear-equations-N2eUHuc
