see the graph and explanations inside

Explanation:

we'll first check intersections with the axises:

for y axis, assume x=0, so we get: y=3(0)-5=-5. let's mark this point as A(0,-5). now let's do the same to find intersection with the x axis: assume that y=0, and we get 0=3x-5 \iff 5=3x \iff x=\frac{5}{3}. let's mark it as b(\frac{5}{3},0).

now we just connect the points to get graph{y=3x-5 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
