Proposition: Characterization of Dependent Absolute Values

Let $(F,+,\cdot)$ be a field with two absolute values $|\cdot|_1$ and $|\cdot|_2$ defined on it. If $|\cdot|_1$ and $|\cdot|_2$ are dependent, then there exists a positive real number $\lambda > 0$ such that $$|x|_1=|x|_y^\lambda$$

for all $x\in F$ with $x\neq 0.$
