Linear programming question, need help

I'm a MS student taking this linear programming course and I found this question online while studying for an exam. I can't find a way to solve it. I tried using the Dual, but since but problems are min it didn't help much :/
I'm trying to prove the following,



Let $x$ be a feasible point for LP in standard form



minimize $c^Tx$



subject to $Ax = b, xge 0$.



Let
$Z = {i|x_i = 0}$. Prove that $x$ is an optimal solution if and only if the optimal value of the
following LP is 0:



minimize $c^Ty$



subject to $Ay = 0, y_i ge 0$ for all $i in Z$.



Any advise?



Thanks!
