Explanation:
The equation of a line in
#color(blue)"standard form"# is.
#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(ax+by+c=0)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
#"Rearrange "y=5-3x" into this form"# add 3x to both sides.
#y+3x=5cancel(-3x)cancel(+3x)#
#rArry+3x=5# subtract 5 from both sides.
#y+3x-5=5-5#
#rArry+3x-5=0# and expressing in standard form.
#3x+y-5=0larrcolor(red)" in standard form"#
