$(3., -5)$

RECALL: In the point $(a, b)$, $a$ is the directed distance of the point from the $y$-axis (positive when to the right of the $y$-axis) and $b$ is the directed distance from the $x$-axis (positive when above the $x$-axis). The point is: $3$ units to the right of the $y$-axis means $x=3$ $5$ units below the $x$-axis means $y=-5$. Thus, the coordinates of the point are $(3, -5)$.
