Answer

$S$ is a subspace.

Work Step by Step

If $y=x=z$. then $\left[\begin{array}{r}{x} \\ {y}\\{z}\end{array}\right]=x\left[\begin{array}{r}{1} \\ {1}\\{1}\end{array}\right]$ and hence $S$ is spanned by the vector $\left[\begin{array}{r}{1}\\ {1}\\{}1\end{array}\right]$ by Theorem 3.19 $S$ is a subspace.
