Y = -6x - 15
We’re already at -3 (y) and the slope is negative so the y intercept is < -3. X is -2 and we need to find the y when x is 0. -2 is 2 away from 0 and 6 (the slope) times 2 is 12. -3 - 12 = - 15
Order of the people does not affect the total number of ways. Thus, we use combinations.
Total combinations: 20C5 = 15,504 ways.

-5 x -3 = 15 ( negative times negative = positive)
a x a² = a³ ( when multiplying exponents, you add the exponents together )
