See explanation and graph.

Explanation:

y = 5 - tan ( 2 ( x - pi ) = 5 + tan ( 2pi - 2x ) = 5 - tan 2x,

2x ne ( asymptotic zero of cos 2x ) ( 2k + 1 ) pi/2#

rArr x ne ( 2k + 1 ) pi/4, k = 0, +-1, +-2, +-3, ...

The period = pi/2.

Amplitude of oo-arm wave is 1/2( period ) = pi/4

Vertical shift is 5 rArr axis is y = 5.

See graph, depicting all these aspects.
