The point $(-5, 3)$ on the complex plane

The complex number $a + bi$ can be plotted on the complex plane as the point $(a, b)$ That is $a$ on the Real axis and $b$ on the Imaginary axis.

Since, in this example, $a=-5$ and $b=3$ , the number can be plotted as the point $(-5, 3)$ on the complex plane.
