The Number of Support Vectors in Support Vector Machine

Hi guys, I’m going through the course for Data Science Path. Notice this in the content for support vector machine:

If you are using n features, there are at least n+1 support vectors.

Why is that? Could anyone explain please? Thanks. :grinning:
