How do you graph y=5x-5 by plotting points?

Below

Explanation:

For x-intercepts, let y=0

0=5x-5
5=5x
x=1 SO (1,0)

For y-intercepts, let x=0

y=5(0)-5
y=-5 SO (0,-5)

Plot those two points on your graph and join them together.

graph{5-5x [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

An alternate way to graph this is basically go let x=1 and sub it into the equation to get your y value. Then go let x=2 and sub it into the equation and so on

Personally, I prefer the whole "finding the x and y intercepts"
