Hi. You could easily find the slope-intercept form equation if you plot the points and do data fitting. You can use this with a software like MS Excel. The figure is attached in the image. Hence, the equation is y = 33x + 132, where y is the number of riders and x is the number of hours of Tara's shift.

The phrase has two parts:
Five times the sum of a number and eleven, divided by three times the sum of the number and eight
Let the number be x. Five times the sum of a number and eleven means 5 multiplied to the sum of x and 11. In expression this will be written as:
5(x + 11)
Three times the sum of the number and eight means 3 multiplied to the sum of x and 8. In expression this will be written as:
3(x + 8)
So, the overall expression will be:
