Firstly, familiarise yourself with what kind of graph this is. For example, this is a linear graph with the formula $y=ax+c$ .

Secondly, find the x-intercept(s) when $y=0$ ,
$5x=-15$
$x=-3$

Thirdly, find the y-intercept(s) when $x=0$ ,
$3y=-15$
$y=-5$

Finally, plot this 2 points on the graph and connect them together.
