solve for intercepts if any and additional points near the intercepts and know the asymptote

the given $y = {log}_{5} x$ $y=log_5 x" " "$ this is the logarithmic form
$5^{y} = x$ $5^y=x" " "$ the exponential form

When x=1, y=0, so we have a point $(1, 0)$ $(1,0)$

When y approaches a very negative number, x approaches zero.

Therefore, $x = 0$ $x=0$ is a vertical asymptote

see the graph of $y = {log}_{5} x$ $y=log_5 x$

graph{y=log x/log 5[-20,20,-10,10]}

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful
