How do you graph y=5sin(x-30)?

Start with the basic sin(x) graph;
shift all points 30^circ left to get sin(x-30^circ);
then shift all points 5 time further away from the X-axis to get 5sin(x-30^circ)

Explanation:

[I assumed the measures x and 30 were intended to be degrees; for the graphics software I use I need to express the argument of sin in terms of pi so I used the equivalence 30^circ=pi/6]

Here is the step-by-step development:
