6x-y = 0 (standard form)

Explanation:

The most generally accepted standard form for a linear equation is
color(white)("XXXX")Ax+By = C where A, B, and C are all integers and A>=0

y=6x can be converted into this form by
subtracting (6x) from both sides
color(white)("XXXX")-6x+y = 0
then multiply both sides by (-1)
color(white)("XXXX")6x-y = 0
