#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#
