Suppose $E$ is a vector space over $K$ and $F$ is a subset of $E$.
For $F$ to be a linear subspace then $forall u,v in F$ and $forall alpha,betain K$, $alpha u + beta v in F$
My professor has been using $beta=1$, how is that okay?

If $beta=0$, then $alpha u + beta v = alpha u in F$ which should be true if $F$ is a subspace of the vector space $E$
So, you can suppose that $beta neq 0$, now divide things by $beta$ which is non-zero. Since the statement must be true for all $alpha$, you can assume that $alpha/beta$ is another $alphain mathbbR$.
