#x=3/2#

#y=-3#

To find the y-intercept set x=0 and solve for y:

#y + 5 = 2 ( x + 1 )#

#y + 5 = 2 ( 0 + 1 )#

#y + 5 = 2 #

#y=-3#

To find the x-intercept set y=0 and solve for x:

#y + 5 = 2 ( x + 1 )#

#0 + 5 = 2 ( x + 1 )#

#5 = 2x + 2#

#3 = 2x#

#x=3/2#

graph{y + 5 = 2 ( x + 1 ) [-7.625, 12.375, -6.64, 3.36]}
