Let the origin O be shifted to the point O^{\prime}(h, k) , where h=3 and k=-1 .

Let the new coordinates of P(x, y) be P\left(x^{\prime}, y^{\prime}\right) .

Then, x^{\prime}=x-h  \Rightarrow   x^{\prime}=x-3  \Rightarrow   x=x^{\prime}+3 .

And, y^{\prime}=y-k  \Rightarrow   y^{\prime}=y+1  \Rightarrow   y=y^{\prime}-1 .

So, the new equation becomes:

2\left(x^{\prime}+3\right)-3\left(y^{\prime}-1\right)+5=0  \Rightarrow   2 x^{\prime}-3 y^{\prime}+14=0 \text {. }

Hence, the equation of the straight line in the new system is 2 x-3 y+14=0 .
