1. The problem asks to find two points with integer coordinates on the graph of the function $f(x) = 3 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x - 5$.
2. The function is an exponential decay function shifted down by 5 units.
3. To find points, substitute integer values of $x$ and calculate $f(x)$.
4. For $x=0$:
$$f(0) = 3 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^0 - 5 = 3 \cdot 1 - 5 = 3 - 5 = -2$$
So the point is $(0, -2)$.
5. For $x=1$:
$$f(1) = 3 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^1 - 5 = 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} - 5 = \frac{3}{2} - 5 = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{10}{2} = -\frac{7}{2} = -3.5$$
This is not an integer coordinate for $y$.
6. For $x=2$:
$$f(2) = 3 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 - 5 = 3 \cdot \frac{1}{4} - 5 = \frac{3}{4} - 5 = -\frac{17}{4} = -4.25$$
Not integer.
7. For $x=-1$:
$$f(-1) = 3 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{-1} - 5 = 3 \cdot 2 - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1$$
So the point is $(-1, 1)$.
8. The two points with integer coordinates are $(-1, 1)$ and $(0, -2)$.
9. The horizontal asymptote is $y = -5$.
Final answer: The two points are $(-1, 1)$ and $(0, -2)$.
