"Standard form" is the form ...

... ax +by = c

where a, b, c are mutually prime integers and the leading coefficient is positive. (If a ≠ 0, then it is "leading". If a = 0, then b is the leading coefficient.)

Of the choices offered, the only one that is equivalent to the given equation is ...

... -x + 6y = 5

_____

However, "standard form" requires the leading coefficient be positive, so an appropriate answer would be ...

... x -6y = -5

or

... 6y -x = 5

____

This is another one for my "broken question" file.
