As below.

Explanation:

Standard form of a tangent function is y = A tan (Bx - C) + D

"Given : " y = tan x + 5

A = 1, B = 1, C = 0, D = 5

"Amplitude " = |A| = "NONE for tangent function "

"Period " = pi / |B| = pi/1 = pi

"Phase Shift " = -C / B = 0

"Vertical Shift " = D = 5

graph{tan x + 5 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
