"Function form" requires the dependent variable be isolated on one side of the equation, while the independent variable and everything else is on the other side.
Generally, that means "put y on the left and everything else on the right". And for the stuff on the right side, it is considered good form to list the terms in descending powers of the independent variable
5x-y=3+
-y+=+3+-5x
y+=+-3+%2B+5x
y+=+5x+-3
