If I pitch my first game in the MLB and I give up 5 home runs, then the manager decides to pull me out of the game, does that mean that my ERA will be exactly 5.00? If not, then how is it scored?

ERA - Earned Run Average is scored by factoring in how many earned runs you give up per 9 innings.
Hope that helps!

Multiply the earned runs allowed by the number of innings in a regulation game and then divide by the number of innings pitched.Reg game=7 inn.Pit. gave up 10 earned runs in 20 inn pitched=10x7dividedby20=3.50 ERA

Those who gave the formula ERA =( ERx9)/ IP are correct. However it is important to determine what an earned run is.Essentially any error other than those made by the pitcher do NOT count when calculating the ERA. This is why you will often hear announcers asking was "was that a passed ball [PB] or a wild pitch[WP] " WPs count PBs do not.. BBs count

if you pitch your first game in the majors, and you give up 5 home runs, you will be sent back to the minors or released, so your era wont really matter,

its how many earned runs you allow, multiplied times nine, divided by the innings pitched
