graph{5-cosx [-10, 10, 3, 7.5]}

Explanation:

First think about the graph of y=cosx, which is as follows:
graph{cosx [-10, 10, -1.5, 1.5]}

So then the graph of y=cosx will be the above graph inverted:
graph{-cosx [-10, 10, -1.5, 1.5]}

And so y=5cosx will be the above graph moved 5 units up
graph{5-cosx [-10, 10, 3, 7.5]}
