First of all you may recognize this as the equation of a straight line so that you'll need only 2 points to draw your graph;
The first one can be found by putting #x=0# in your equation giving you the point of coordinates #(0;-11)#
The second point can be found putting #x=-5#, giving the point of coordinates #(-5;-10)#.
Graphically:
graph{-1/5x-11 [-18.335, 1.665, -13.16, -3.16]}
