Amplitude: 1
Period: (2pi)/3
Phase shift: 0
Vertical shift: 5

Explanation:

Here is the general form: y = Asin(Bx + C) + D

Here is your equation y = sin(3x) + 5

The amplitude is, A = 1

The period is T = (2pi)/B In your case, T = (2pi)/3

The phase shift is computed, using theta = C/B. In your case, it is 0.

The vertical shift is D. In your case it is 5.
