I know that if the conditions of being a vector space is fulfilled by a subset of a vector space then it will be a subspace. And these conditions reduce to the three conditions that is:
Show it is closed under addition.
Show it is closed under scalar multiplication.
Show that the vector 0 is in the subset.
But how come these condition fulfill that additive inverse of a vector in the subset also exists in the subset.
I searched for this answer where it told that



$ -1.x=-x $



and hence additive inverse exists in the subset, but how can we assume that the field always contains $ -1 $ ?
