Answer:
see below for the graph
Step-by-step explanation:
The desired graph has two y-intercepts and one x-intercept. It is not the graph of a function.
Here's one way to get there.
__
Start with the parent function y = |x| and scale it down so that it has a y-intercept of -1 and x-intercepts at ±1.
Now, it is ...
f(x) = |x| -1
We want to scale this vertically by a factor of -5. this puts the y-intercept at +5 and leaves the x-intercepts at ±1.
Horizontally, we want to scale the function by an expansion factor of 3. The transformed function g(x) will be ...
g(x) = -5f(x/3) = -5(|x/3| -1) = -5/3|x| +5
This function has two x-intercepts at ±3 and one y-intercept at y=5. By swapping the x- and y-variables, we can get an equation for the graph you want:
x = -(5/3)|y| +5

<em>Comment on this answer</em>
Since there are no requirements on the graph other than it have the listed intercepts, you can draw it free-hand through the intercept points. It need not be describable by an equation.
