And the graph starts at -5*pi / 6 and ends at 31*pi/6.
Unless you miswrote the function, you are shifting the graph in the wrong direction.

i dont understand how to plot the x-values on the graph and how to find the 5 main points on the graph other than the starting point and the end point.
sin(x) has roots at what you seem to be calling its "starting" and "ending" points, as well as a root precisely between these points. This will be preserved after those affine transformations, so one of the "main points" as you call it will occur precisely between the "starting" and "ending" points. The others occur at the function's maximum and minimum, which will be exactly between the middle and start/end points. In other words, all points are separated by the function's period/4.
