For this, the x-axis is already correct.
As for the y-axis, we look at the range of values we need which is 5 to -43. For convenience, lets round it up to -45.
The question says to use "1cm to 1 unit on the y-axis". So this gives us a clue.
Usually for these questions, it will usually be in multiples of 2, 5, or 10. And in this case, using multiples of 5 for every 1 cm box. So 5, 0, -5, -10 ... -40, -45.
We get just enough space for the whole graph.
Hope that helped :)

No. 1 cm to 1 unit will not fit the given space there. Even a regular graph paper would only accommodate at most 24 cm or 26 cm.
Using 1 cm to represent 5 units breaks the “1 cm to 1 unit” stipulation, but again in this situation it’s best to not follow the given scaling.
They should have phrased the scaling as “using 1 cm to represent 5 units”. My Guess is that the setter failed to realise that substituting the x = 1 will get y = -43.
In short, the setter fell short of setting a good question.
