Simply plot a closed circle at y=-2 and an open circle at y=5 on a number line. Then shade the interval in between the two points to get the following:

Graph of the solution set

Note:
The closed circle at y=-2 means that we're including this value in the solution set
The open circle at y=5 means that we're excluding this value from the solution set.
